The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Exploratory Grantmaking in Technology program funds early, exploratory work at the intersection of AI and research. Its 'AI in Science' focus examines reproducibility and transparency of machine-learning-enabled science, while 'Automation in Science' supports robotics and AI applications in lab and field work to accelerate iterative cycles of discovery.
Grants back workshops, tool development, landscape analyses, and proofs of concept rather than large-scale implementation.
