The Hoffman-Yee Research Grants are designed to address significant scientific, technical, or societal challenges requiring an interdisciplinary team and a bold approach.

These grants are made possible by a gift from philanthropists Reid Hoffman and Michelle Yee.

The research spans HAI’s key areas of focus: understanding the human and societal impact of AI, augmenting human capabilities, and developing AI technologies inspired by human intelligence. Each of the winning teams receive up to $500,000 in year-one with the opportunity to receive up to $2,000,000 more over the following two years.

Visit the Call for Proposals for criteria and eligibility. Letters of Intent were due by January 28, 2026 at 11:59pm PT. Please direct any questions to hai-grants@lists.stanford.edu. 

The 2025 Hoffman-Yee Grant Symposium occurred on October 14 2025 and comprised of public talks from the six teams who are competing for funding, as well as showcased the work of the four 2024 winners.
