Priority ideas to review
Fit assessment · eligibility not pre-approvedAI Datasets: unlock scientific dataset value
A close match for expert data quality, provenance, scientific evaluation and AI-ready dataset operations. A research contribution and community utility—not routine labeling—must lead.
Social Protection Ministry data warehouse
Fits enterprise data integration, quality and reporting; requires demonstrable data-platform delivery and sensitive-record controls.
Communities Leading on AI
Conditional technical-project fit only: community-led evaluations, audits or shared datasets. Published scope restriction: projects primarily about AI literacy, AI-tool adoption or research without community leadership/action are out of scope. A standard AI-skills course does not qualify.
