Amazon Research Awards (ARA) provides unrestricted funds and AWS Promotional Credits to academic researchers investigating various research topics in multiple disciplines. This cycle, ARA received many excellent research proposals from across the world and today is publicly announcing 63 award recipients who represent 41 universities in 8 countries.

This announcement includes awards funded under five call for proposals during the spring 2025 cycle: AI for Information Security, Amazon Ads, AWS AI: Agentic AI, Build on Trainium and Think Big. Proposals were reviewed for the quality of their scientific content and their potential to impact both the research community and society. Additionally, Amazon encourages the publication of research results, presentations of research at Amazon offices worldwide, and the release of related code under open-source licenses.

Recipients have access to more than 700 Amazon public datasets and can utilize AWS AI/ML services and tools through their AWS Promotional Credits. Recipients also are assigned an Amazon research contact who offers consultation and advice, along with opportunities to participate in Amazon events and training sessions.

How Amazon uses AI agents to anticipate and counter cyber threats
Amazon's competitive-agent architecture creates a continuous improvement cycle that develops security protections at machine speed, reducing what typically takes weeks down to hours.

"Amazon Research Awards are enabling incredibly impactful work to improve human health—from revolutionizing and democratizing structural biology tools, which can accelerate discovery of candidate molecules for new drugs to help patients, to predicting the etiology of a stroke in order to start the appropriate therapies, or interpreting digital phenotyping data to help with mental health services," said Christine Silvers, AWS Principal Healthcare Advisor. "These are just three examples of projects that recipients have received Amazon Research Awards for. The potential for improving healthcare amongst all of the spring 2025 plus past and future awardees is staggering and inspiring.“

"Academic AI researchers face a fundamental challenge: advancing machine learning research and educating the next generation requires access to cutting-edge infrastructure that's both powerful and affordable," said Yida Wang, AWS AI Principal Applied Scientist. "The Build on Trainium program directly addresses this barrier. We are working with leading AI research universities such as, UC Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, MIT, UIUC, UCLA, and many others.  At CMU, researchers achieved significant improvements over state-of-the-art FlashAttention in just one week. At MIT, researchers trained 3D medical imaging models with 50% higher throughput and lower cost, reducing training time from months to weeks. Build on Trainium represents AWS's commitment to democratizing AI research through collaborative partnership with academia—fostering an environment where researchers experiment freely, students learn on production-scale infrastructure, and academic innovations shape the future of machine learning for everyone."

The tables below list, in alphabetical order by last name, the spring 2025 cycle call-for-proposal recipients, sorted by research area.
