Free Claude credits for high-impact scientific researchWhy it matters
It is relevant for researchers, labs, universities and civic-science teams in the network that want to use advanced AI for reproducible research, computational science, public-interest data, urban systems, health, biology, climate, agriculture or other high-impact scientific projects.
Who should look at it
Academic and nonprofit researchers, research groups, university labs, scientific teams and applied research organizations with a clear project, strong credentials and a concrete explanation of how Claude or Anthropic API credits would accelerate the research.
Application details
The form currently lets applicants choose between the Claude Science Cohort and the Standard AI for Science program. Applicants should select the route that best matches their project and read any updated instructions in the form before submitting.
The program offers free credits for Anthropic's standard model suite to qualified nonprofit and academic researchers. It does not exempt users from Anthropic's Usage Policy or trust and safety enforcement.
Anthropic states that submissions are evaluated monthly. Because demand is high, they may not provide individual responses to unapproved submissions.
Anthropic highlights biology and life sciences use cases such as complex biological systems, genetic data, drug discovery, agriculture and other scientific work. Broader scientific projects should clearly explain their impact and why Claude materially accelerates the work.
A strong submission should be specific: research question, scientific credentials, data or methods involved, expected outputs, responsible use controls, and why Anthropic credits are necessary rather than generic AI access.
Anthropic announced the AI for Science program as an initiative to accelerate scientific research and discovery through API access, with a particular focus on high-impact science and life sciences applications.
