Sustainability

Invites proposals for innovative projects that merge machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques with life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies to support carbon abatement strategies. This call seeks to fund projects that address the challenges associated with generating consistent, transparent, and accurate carbon measurements.

Funding: Selected Principal Investigators (PIs) may receive the following:

• Unrestricted funds, from $50,000 to $100,000
• AWS credits: up to $40,000
• Training resources, including AWS tutorials and hands-on sessions with Amazon scientists and engineers
