79 Amazon Research Awards recipients announced

Awardees, who represent 54 universities in 14 countries, have access to Amazon public datasets, along with AWS AI/ML services and tools.

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 79 award recipients who represent 54 universities in 14 countries.

This announcement includes awards funded under four call for proposals during the fall 2022 cycle: AWS AI, Automated Reasoning, Prime Video, and Sustainability. Proposals were reviewed for the quality of their scientific content and their potential to impact both the research community and society.

Recipients have access to more than 300 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.

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.

"Complexities of AI/ML challenges at scale often intersect more than one discipline and require creative and diverse approaches to tackle these issues," said Arash Nourian, AWS general manager, Machine Learning Engines. "I was amazed by the diversity of disciplines and the scientific content of Awardee’s submissions that collectively could represent significant potential impact on both the AI/ML research community and society."

“The incredible response to Prime Video’s fall 2022 Call for Proposals is a testament to the exciting work the ARAs have inspired across four cutting-edge research categories,” said BA Winston, VP of Technology at Prime Video. “I am delighted by the winning proposals and look forward to the ongoing research across several areas in Prime Video that is helping us create even more impactful customer-obsessed technology.”

ARA funds proposals throughout the year in a variety of research areas. Applicants are encouraged to visit the ARA call for proposals page for more information or send an email to be notified of future open calls.

The tables below list, in alphabetical order, fall 2022 cycle call-for-proposal recipients, sorted by research area.
