Center on Long-Term Risk CLR Fund for AI Suffering Risks Multi-Agent Safety and Cooperative AI Research

The CLR Fund is a rolling-application grantmaker run by the Center on Long-Term Risk supporting research that reduces s-risks (suffering risks) from advanced AI, particularly through multi-agent safety, cooperative AI, decision theory, and the prevention of catastrophic conflict and worst-case outcomes from AI systems. The fund supports individuals (independent researchers, graduate students, early-career fellows), small charitable organizations, and academic projects whose work addresses neglected technical and conceptual problems at the intersection of AI alignment and long-term suffering risks. Priority research areas include multi-agent reinforcement learning safety, game-theoretic alignment, cooperative AI mechanisms, decision theory for AI, threat modeling for advanced AI conflict, and wild animal welfare adjacent to AI ethics. Grant decisions are made by simple majority approval from fund managers Tobias Baumann, Emery Cooper, and Tristan Cook. Past awards have ranged from approximately $5,000 short research grants to $251,000 multi-year project support.

Grants range from approximately $5,000 to $251,000 USD based on historical awards. Current fund balance is approximately $387,000. The CLR Fund has distributed over $1.8 million since inception.Deadline: Check Source
