Microsoft AI for Accessibility Grant Application
General information – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/ai-for-accessibility-grants?activetab=pivot1%3aprimaryr2
Application page – https://ai4prod.microsoftcrmportals.com/AIAcccessibilityGrantApplication/
What challenges does the program focus on?
There is a world of opportunities when it comes to accessible and inclusive technology for people with disabilities, and Microsoft is beginning this program by focusing on three main challenges in the AI for Accessibility program: Employment, Daily life, and Communication and connection.
The AI for Accessibility program awards grants in areas that are vital for building a sustainable future:
- Employment: The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is more than double that of people without. We see opportunities in using AI to help people develop more advanced skills in the workplace and evolve the culture around inclusive hiring.
- Daily life: We see great opportunities in building modern solutions for people with disabilities by making software and devices smarter and more contextually relevant.
- Communication and connection: Communication is fundamental to providing equal access to information and opportunities. Lack of options excludes some from employment and society. Technology can create new possibilities regardless of how a person listens, speaks, or writes.
What types of grants do you offer?
Currently AI for Accessibility provides the following types of one-year grants:
- Azure compute credits: This is the fast track to get you up and running on Azure AI Service with grants of Azure compute credits worth $10,000, $15,000, or $20,000 (depending on your project scope and needs).
- Azure compute credits Plus: In addition to Azure compute credits, these grants cover costs related to collecting or labeling data, developing models, or other engineering-related work. Applications are evaluated on their scientific merit, innovative use of AI technology, and potential for scalability.
How do I apply for a grant?
Submission: Submit your proposal via the online application form.
Deadline: There is no due date- we accept proposals on a rolling basis with grants awarded quarterly. Apply now via the online application form
Qualified applicants: We are open to everybody who has a great idea. AI for Accessibility is a call to action for developers, NGO’s, academics, researchers, and inventors to accelerate their work for people with disabilities. From a tinkerer in a basement to an established corporation, from students to professionals. This is a global program; grant applications from all countries in the world are eligible. If you are worried about not meeting all requirements, please connect to someone in your community who can support you and partner on an application.
Project proposal: The most important part of each application is a project proposal that describes the accessibility challenge addressed, the technical solution proposed, and its potential impact on people with disabilities. Please follow the application form and be as specific as possible. Your proposal should be written in English.
The AI for Accessibility program provides access to advanced Microsoft Azure cloud computing resources to individuals and organizations working on empowering people with disabilities across the world. The AI for Accessibility program awards grants to projects that build on recent advancements in Microsoft Cognitive Services and Machine Learning to develop accessible and intelligent AI solutions in any of our three areas of focus:
· Employment
How can we positively impact the employment rate for people with disabilities through more intelligent technology?
· Daily Life
How can we increase access to technology for people with disabilities while also decreasing the cost of such technology?
· Communication & Connection
How can AI help improve the speed, accuracy, and convenience of communication for people with disabilities?
To complete your grant application form you’ll need to answer the following questions, in addition to providing organizational details:
- Describe your solution (in less than 4,000 characters)
- Provide a budget plan for developing and/or implementing the AI tools and services needed for your solution (e.g., equipment) (in USD; less than 4,000 characters)
- Deliver an approximate timeline for key project milestones mapped to each deliverable (in less than 4,000 characters)
Microsoft Al for Earth Grants
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/a/ai-for-earth-grants
Program details
AI for Earth grants provide access to advanced Microsoft Azure cloud computing resources to support projects that change the way people and organizations monitor, model, and ultimately manage Earth’s natural systems.
What types of grants do you offer?
Currently AI for Earth provides two types of grants. Each round, you can apply to either, or both, depending on your project needs.
- Data labeling services: An important prerequisite for most AI projects is having an accurately labeled dataset to train your model on. Thus, we provide grants to help label key datasets in our four environmental focus areas. All datasets that are labeled through our grants program are hosted on Azure and made publicly available to other organizations and individuals for training models. The amount granted is dependent on size of dataset and difficulty of labeling.
- Azure compute credits: If you already have access to a labeled dataset and are ready to start computing in the cloud and accessing Azure AI tools, this grant provides you with Azure compute credits worth $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000 (depending on your project scope and needs). By being a member of the AI for Earth grantee community, you also have access to additional resources (technical advice and support, online Azure training materials, as well as invitations to the AI for Earth Summit for networking and education opportunities).
What environmental areas does the program focus on?
AI for Earth awards grants to projects that address four areas that are vital for building a sustainable future:
Agriculture: To feed the world’s rapidly growing population, farmers must produce more food, on less arable land, and with lower environmental impact.
Biodiversity: Species are going extinct at alarming rates, driving the decay of key ecosystem services like pollination on which humans depend.
Climate change: Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, higher global temperatures, and increased ocean acidity threaten human health, infrastructure, and the natural systems we rely on for life itself.
Water: In the next two decades, demand for fresh water—for human consumption, agriculture, and hygiene—is predicted to dramatically outpace supply.
| Submission Submit your proposal via the online application form. The grant application includes an online form with two sections, one for data labeling services and one for Azure credits. Fill out either or both, depending on the resources you need for your project. For Azure compute grants, you will also fill out a written project proposal (details below) that is uploaded in the Files section of the Online Application System. | |
Deadline We accept proposals on a rolling basis and review them four times a year. Our next evaluation will be for all proposals submitted by 11:59 PM Pacific Time, April 8, 2019. This is the second deadline for 2019. | |
| Q | Qualified Applicants Applicants can be affiliated with an academic institution, nonprofit organization, government entity, environmental start-up, or an innovative project within a company. For the Azure compute grants, we recommend that the main applicant has a demonstrated background in environmental science and/or technology, and that at least one member of the team has strong enough technical skills to complete the project successfully. Applicants should be close to or done with their data collection and ready to start with computation and model building. Esri will also consider AI for Earth grant recipients who are affiliated with academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and start-ups for a sponsored subscription to ArcGIS Pro. ArcGIS Pro is a leading geospatial software for creating maps, performing spatial analysis, and managing data. |
Project Proposal The most important part of each Azure compute grant application is a project proposal that describes the environmental challenge addressed, the datasets used for analysis, the technical solution proposed, and its potential impact. Proposals should be written in English and not exceed three pages. While there is no specific format for proposals, a guideline is below that outlines information that is important to include: Title: Team members/collaborators List one project leader first, then include all other team members afterwards. Include names, roles, and institutional affiliations for each member. 1-2 sentence summary of your project Project summary: What challenge are you addressing? What is your proposed solution? Approximate timeline for key project milestones? How does your project build on existing research? What datasets will you use for your analyses? Is this data already collected? Is your data labeled and ready to be used as training data? Technical component: What Microsoft Azure offerings will you use? We’re particularly interested in projects that use AI and machine learning. You can see what’s available at Azure Cloud Services. We offer $5,000, $10,000, and $15,000 grants. Justify the amount your project will need (you can calculate an estimate using the Azure calculator). Do you have the resources and technical skills to complete the project successfully? Has anyone on your team used Azure or another cloud computing service before? Impact: How does your project align with the AI for Earth areas of focus (agriculture, food, biodiversity, and/or climate change)? How does your project transform the way we address environmental challenges? How will the results of your project be leveraged and beneficial to a community of users? Are you creating tools, APIs, or applications that can be used? Will they be open-source? Where will your project have direct positive impact? (Be specific about geographic locations.)
