As the Amazon Research Awards (ARA) program continues to expand in scope, so does our call for proposals list. To that end, starting March 19, we will open the spring 2025 call for proposals in four research areas listed below.
The deadline for proposals is April 30, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Proposals will be reviewed for the quality of their scientific content, creativity, and their potential for impact at scale. Proposals related to theory, practice, and novel techniques are all welcome.
ARA provides grant recipients unrestricted funds and AWS promotional credits. Funded projects are assigned an Amazon research contact, and recipients also receive training resources, including AWS tutorials and hands-on sessions with Amazon scientists and engineers.
Before applying, we encourage researchers to visit the ARA website and read our frequently asked questions for more specific program information. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
