The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group encourages new ways of doing science, nurturing breakthroughs, and fostering a community built on a shared passion for discovery. Our team is constantly seeking new ideas and emerging fields where any early investment could have the power to upend dogma, overcome a stuck point, or to catalyze momentum in a field.  

Ask Anything, Change Everything is a campaign to ask our community: 

What should exist but doesn’t yet in artificial intelligence to unlock our understanding of fundamental biology.  

Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly advancing field with implications and uses across science, technology, health, and everyday life. We seek ideas that expand the capabilities of artificial intelligence and its use in unlocking principles of basic biology. Submitters should consider bold ideas and areas that represent the long-term future of AI (what could AI look like in 2050) and consider avoiding areas that are well represented currently and in the near-term future in biotech and both public and private funding (AI is already being used for enhancing drug discovery and therefore would not be a good fit). We welcome ideas that encompass the use of artificial intelligence in the broadest sense that could include aspects of one or multiple fields (but not limited to): machine learning, data science, generative AI etc.  

Thank you for your interest in the 2025 Allen Institute Modeling Software Workshop. The workshop will take place July 28th-30th, 2025, at the Allen Institute, located in Seattle, WA. For workshop information, please see the Allen Institute website. For this application, you will need to provide these materials:

  • Answers to short free-response questions about your interest in the workshop

Thank you for applying for the Shanahan Foundation Fellowship at the Interface of Data and Neuroscience. Applications for the Fall 2025 cohort are due on December 16th, 2024. For more information, please see the Fellowship website


  For this application, you will need to provide these materials:
 

  • A one page personal statement from the applicant describing their history, activities and interests as an individual (especially those outside of science) which may give the committee a greater sense of you as a person and your ability to simultaneously interact with and challenge traditional scientific fields.
  • A two to three page research statement from the applicant describing their prior research, interests in applying data science to the field of neuroscience, potential research interests (including tools they are familiar with) and how this fellowship aligns with their career goals. (Note: any references are not included in the page limit)
  • Your CV
  • Two letters of support from advisors and other mentors
