Anthropic expands AI for Science program to 20 research partners

### Who is eligible for the AI for Science Program? The AI for Science program is designed for researchers attached to research institutions working on high-impact scientific projects, with a particular focus on biology and life sciences applications. We evaluate applications based on scientific merit, potential impact, technical feasibility, and the team's credentials in both their subject area and AI. ### What types of scientific research does this program support? We support research across various scientific fields, including: Biology/Life Sciences Chemistry Medicine/Healthcare Environmental Science Physics Computer Science Earth Sciences Other fields with potential for significant scientific impact [...] # Anthropic's AI for Science Program Our AI for Science Program is specifically designed to support researchers working on high-impact scientific projects, with a particular focus on biology and life sciences applications, by providing free API credits. If you are a

# AI for Science expands to foundations and research institutions AI for Science expands to foundations and research institutions Published Category Announcements We’re highlighting 20 scientific foundations, institutions, and research groups from around the world that we’ve partnered with in an expansion of our AI for Science program, which gives free Claude credits to researchers working on high-impact scientific projects. [...] Over the past year, we’ve started to expand this work and partner with scientific organizations to build collaborative research projects. For instance, we partnered with HHMI Janelia Research Campus to develop the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification that lets AI agents safely operate lab instruments. MHS is currently in research preview. We also support the Allen Institute, a leader in creating large open datasets and tools to advance research on the brain, cells, and the immune system. The institute is building teams of AI agents to

## Why AI for Science? At Anthropic, we believe that AI has the potential to significantly accelerate scientific progress. Advanced AI reasoning and language capabilities can help researchers analyze complex scientific data, generate hypotheses, design experiments, and communicate findings more effectively. By reducing the time and resources needed for scientific discovery, we can help address some of humanity's most pressing challenges. [...] This initiative aligns with our vision of building AI systems that bring value to humanity, as discussed in our CEO Dario Amodei's Machines of Loving Grace. We're particularly interested in supporting applications where AI can assist in accelerating processes related to understanding complex biological systems, analyzing genetic data, accelerating drug discovery especially for some of the largest global disease burdens, increasing agricultural productivity, and more. ## Program Details The AI for Science program will offer significant API cred

# Expanding our support for scientists Published Category Announcements Topics + Access + Discovery + Research programs + Life sciences + CBRN risks + Claude Opus As Claude becomes increasingly capable at scientific research, we are focusing on building products and programs to support the research community. In June, we launched Claude Science, a product that integrates the tools that researchers most commonly use, produces auditable artifacts, and provides flexible access to computing resources. We have also continued to broaden our AI for Science program, which provides free credits to researchers working on high-impact scientific projects. [...] Alongside these subscriptions, we are also expanding the scope and scale of our AI for Science program. To date, we’ve largely supported scientists using Claude for biological sciences. We are now looking to offer credits for researchers in other scientific fields as well, including those working on ambitious, compute h

### AI for Science We work with universities, research institutes, biotech companies, and academic medical centers—through direct API access, co-developed custom agents, applied AI technical support, and more—to get Claude into the hands of scientists. This allows us to incorporate feedback based on real-world evaluation and applied research across domains, demonstrating the tangible impacts AI is having on science.
