Claude’s AI for Science program expands to 20 foundations and institutions
The AI for Science program is expanding its partnership network to 20 scientific foundations, institutions, and research groups, providing free Claude credits to researchers and institutional teams; partners include the NSF, Simons Foundation, Sloan Foundation, Schmidt Sciences, HHMI Janelia, and the Allen Institute. The program aims to scale from supporting individual scientists to enabling institutional projects that produce public goods—open datasets, software, standards (e.g., the Model Hardware Standard in research preview), and shared libraries—to accelerate scientific research across multiple fields.
