About the programme
IHS invites scholars to propose long-term research on how artificial intelligence influences work. Proposals that bridge disciplines are especially welcome. Eligible deliverables include peer-reviewed publications, policy white papers, or shareable research databases. Awards of up to $20,000 are available, with larger awards possible for exceptional projects. Eligible costs include travel for conference presentations and archival research, research assistant hiring, dataset purchases, LLM subscriptions for specialised research sources, journal submission fees, and book publication costs. Living expenses, hardware, retroactive costs, conference travel without a presentation, and indirect costs are ineligible.
