RFPs: Global Health and Wellbeing in an Era of Transformative AI
About
The Coefficient Giving is seeking applications to improve health and economic outcomes in a world potentially reshaped by transformative AI while prioritizing measurable impact, field-building and implementation.
The initiative focuses on strengthening resilient communities and digital society systems by improving cultural infrastructure, access to justice, and frameworks for valuing and supporting community-level resilience and emergency preparedness. It also examines how transformative AI could reshape global health and biomedical research, particularly by accelerating drug discovery, clinical trials, regulatory processes, manufacturing, and health data infrastructure, while potentially shifting bottlenecks toward regulation, distribution, and access.
The initiative provides total funding between 10 million and 30 million dollars, distributed across three grant levels. Exploratory grants are available for amounts below 100,000 dollars and support early-stage research, scoping work, and prototype development. Standard grants range from 100,000 dollars to 1 million dollars and are intended for research programs, hiring, and the launch of small initiatives. Large grants range from 1 million to 10 million dollars and are designed for building institutions, creating new organizations, and developing major policy or infrastructure projects
Eligibility
Eligibility is global and open to individuals, academic institutions, think tanks, nonprofits, and appropriately structured for-profit entities. Proposals from low- and middle-income country contexts or those directly engaging with them are especially encouraged, as are projects building new organizations or engaging applicants who have not previously worked on AI futures. All funded work is generally expected to include policy engagement or public communication components, and most grants are designed to run for up to two years depending on scope and type of activity.
