Amazon Research Awards
Call for Proposals

As the Amazon Research Awards (ARA) program continues to expand in scope, so does the call for proposals list. To that end, as of Sept. 16, Amazon Research Awards opened its fall 2022 call for proposals related to four research areas. The full list, and links to additional details, is below. The deadline for submissions is October 19, 2022.


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 new techniques are all welcome.
 
This edition of the call for proposals reflects Amazon's ongoing efforts to collaborate with researchers in a variety of areas.
 
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, researchers are encouraged to visit the ARA website and read the frequently asked questions for more specific program information. Decision letters will be sent out in March 2023.
