CustomGPT.ai Announces AI Research Grants for College Faculty

Research

We are grateful for the enthusiastic participation in our EDU grants program. While this program has now closed, we invite you to explore CustomGPT with a free 7-day trial. Experience how our AI can revolutionize your projects and research!

Here at CustomGPT.ai, we embody the goals of exploring and expanding the boundaries of generative AI. We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be funding AI research grants for college and university members to the value of $3,000 per successful application. 

Our college and university faculty grant initiative reflects our commitment to fostering innovation and the practical application of generative AI in the academic world. 

It demonstrates our confidence in the thus far relatively unrealized potential of generative AI chatbots, agents, and knowledge repositories for enhancing student learning experiences, facilitating tutor roles and course delivery, and empowering academic research programs as well as many other use cases that students, professors, and entrepreneurs will want to explore. 

The initiative also reflects our belief in our product, CustomGPT.ai, as a zero-code, privacy-first, business-grade platform to quickly build such AI tools while mitigating the risks of inaccuracies and hallucinations. 

Faculty AI Research Grant Details

What We Offer 

Successful applicants will receive a CustomGPT.ai Premium License free for six months, providing access to our advanced AI tools valued at approximately $3,000. This package supports the creation of up to 100 custom chatbots, ensuring ample resources for impactful research and teaching projects.

Each faculty grant recipient will be supported by comprehensive documentation and potential one-on-one sessions to maximize the opportunity of using our AI tools in educational and research endeavors.

Who Can Apply

Proposals are welcomed from full-time faculty members across various disciplines at 4-year colleges and universities and associated employees of graduate degree programs. 

Proficiency in coding is not required to use CustomGPT.ai, but applicants should have an understanding and vision for the use of generative AI in research and teaching, as this will be crucial in the successful applicant selection process. 

How To Apply

Submit a detailed proposal and resume/curriculum vitae via email to nate@customgpt.ai or apply online. You can download the proposal template here

We encourage applicants to first engage with our platform through a free 7-day trial to understand its capabilities in context with relevant expectations. 

Proposals will be accepted until May 15, 2024, with grants awarded on a rolling basis starting May 1, 2024.

Anticipated Impacts of CustomGPT.ai University and College Research Grants

Our goals

We hope to enable grant recipients to:

  • Develop and deploy feature-rich custom AI swiftly using our intuitive no-code platform
  • Enhance accessibility to information for their students, colleagues, and the wider public
  • Share their findings and experiences through various channels, fostering a collaborative academic community

The use cases in education and for colleges and universities are varied, and the full potential of generative AI, as it continues to evolve, is largely untapped, which opens an early adopter opportunity. 

  • Professors and tutors can facilitate student learning by creating course-specific chatbots and curriculum repositories based on their own knowledge as well as available academic texts, reports and course resources.
  • Researchers can provide access to important academic research, create comprehensive knowledge repositories, engage stakeholders and the public, and formulate engaging, easy-to-use tools to share their work.
  • Colleges, universities, and departments can build conversational platforms to facilitate access to student services, support, and content, including admissions, schedules and curriculums, placements, alumni relations, and student news services.

Interest in generative AI for education is expected to grow rapidly over the next 6-18 months, with students and stakeholders growing accustomed to new interactive and engaging tools that can support learning and free more tutor time for one-to-one and class sessions. Generative AI further presents the opportunity to address declining interest in conventional learning tools such as textbooks and journals.

CustomGPT.ai uses RAG technology to mitigate the hallucinations and falsifications that often appear when using public AI tools without such guardrails. A CustomGPT.ai chatbot uses OpenAI’s advanced LLM technology for its conversational and natural language processing (NLP) skills, but it can be populated with user-specific and proprietary data, drawing its responses only from this information and not its sources from the web.
