The Lambda Research Grant program provides cloud GPU credits to qualifying academic researchers running AI/ML training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and inference workloads on Lambda's GPU cloud infrastructure (H100, H200, B200, and A100 instances). Grants up to $5,000 in compute credits per cycle. Open to academic researchers with institutional affiliation and an active AI/ML project.
Application requires brief project description, expected compute needs, anticipated publication/output, and willingness to acknowledge Lambda in resulting research. Lambda has expanded its Research Program in late 2024 to address the GPU access gap for academic AI researchers competing against industry labs with vastly larger compute budgets.
The program complements other compute grants (NVIDIA Academic Grant Program, AWS Cloud Credit for Research, NSF ACCESS) and is particularly accessible because of fast turnaround (typically days to weeks for decisions) and lower bureaucratic overhead. Lambda credits are usable on the Lambda Cloud, which provides per-second billing and access to multi-GPU instances suitable for distributed training.
Common funded research areas include foundation model fine-tuning, AI safety/alignment evaluations, computer vision research, multimodal models, and reinforcement learning.
