About the program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Foundation models are fueling a fundamental shift in computing research and across the sciences. Even as industry-led advances in AI continue to reach new heights, we believe that a vibrant and diverse research ecosystem remains essential to realizing the promise of AI to benefit people and society while mitigating risks. Accelerate Foundation Models Research (AFMR) is a research grant program through which we will make leading foundation models hosted by Microsoft Azure more accessible to the academic research community via Microsoft Azure AI services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By driving deeper collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and sectors, we aim to unlock the full potential of AI across greater breadth of research pursuits, application domains, and societal contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
