The AI Safety Fund is a collaborative $10 million+ initiative established in October 2023 by the Frontier Model Forum (Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI) together with philanthropic partners to accelerate and expand independent research on frontier AI model safety and security.
It funds academic, independent, and nonprofit researchers to promote the responsible development of frontier AI models, minimize risks to public safety and security, and enable standardized third-party evaluations of frontier AI capabilities. Focus areas include safety evaluations, red-teaming methodologies, alignment techniques, and governance frameworks.
The program has completed grant rounds in November 2024 and December 2025 and reserves remaining funds for narrowly-targeted projects addressing urgent bottlenecks in AI safety research.

EQUAL Compute Network is an IDRC-funded initiative to address compute inequities limiting Global South participation in frontier AI research. The network supports researchers, public-interest compute providers, and policy actors in Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia to evaluate compute needs, build shared compute infrastructure, develop pooled access models, and inform national AI compute strategies. Sub-grants fund research nodes, pilot deployments of shared compute clusters, and policy analysis on compute access. Aligns with the wider AI4D portfolio and complements Canadian and EU compute sovereignty initiatives.
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking launched its AI Gigafactories call on 30 July 2026 as a joint procurement, not a conventional research grant, and that distinction shapes who should respond. It seeks consortia or Special Purpose Vehicles bringing together companies, public entities, investors and other partners to establish up to seven AI Gigafactories across Europe - facilities that combine massive computing power and state-of-the-art AI processors with the software and cloud technology stacks, high-bandwidth connectivity and energy-efficient data centres needed to deliver frontier AI training, fine-tuning and inference at scale. This is the tier above the 19 AI Factories and 13 AI Factory Antennas EuroHPC already oversees, which serve SMEs and startups with free customised support; the Gigafactories are aimed at frontier-scale sovereign capacity. The financing model is blended: EuroHPC expects total private investment of more than EUR 20,000,000,000 across the EU, with successful projects receiving varying levels of EU and national co-funding calibrated to the size and range of sovereign services offered. Per-facility EU contributions have deliberately not been published, so applicants must build their own capital stack and negotiate co-funding rather than apply against a fixed grant envelope. Facilities may be established in a single Member State or span several, and cross-border developments are explicitly welcomed. The reference is EUROHPC-2026-CEI-AIGF-01 and the deadline is 12 November 2026 at 16:00 CET. Realistically this is a call for infrastructure-grade consortia with credible access to billions in capital, energy siting and hyperscale operations experience - not for individual research groups or early-stage startups, who should instead route through the existing AI Factories network.
Schmidt Sciences' 2026 Science of Trustworthy AI RFP closes May 17 with two funding tiers — up to $1M (Tier 1) and $1–5M+ (Tier 2) over 1–3 years, with a 10% indirect cost cap. The three research aims target misalignment under distribution shift, predictive-validity evaluations, and oversight of superhuman systems. Here is why the structure favors team-based proposals.
Read articleSchmidt Sciences opened a 'Scaling AI Safety for a Multi-Agent World' program with awards up to $1 million and an August 8, 2026 deadline. Against a backdrop of federal research slowdowns, here is why private science philanthropy matters more than ever, how these funders differ from federal agencies, and how researchers should approach them.
Read articleSchmidt Marine Technology Partners funds the development and deployment of ocean technology — sustainable fisheries, ocean observation, habitat restoration, and pollution — with grants typically $100,000 to $400,000. The initial proposal window closes July 31, 2026. Here's what makes this funder different and how to write for it.
