Join the NVIDIA Applied Research Accelerator Program.
The NVIDIA Applied Research Accelerator Program supports research projects that have the potential to make a real-world impact through deployment into GPU-accelerated applications adopted by commercial and government organizations. This program is designed to accelerate development and adoption by providing access to technical guidance, hardware, and funding based on project requirements, maturity, and impact.
To qualify for the Applied Research Accelerator Program, you must meet all four of the criteria listed below.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and responses will be provided within 12 weeks of application submission.
Projects based on research that has been demonstrated to be feasible with an identified path to a GPU-accelerated application, which could be deployed within three years, are eligible for a hardware grant of up to four workstation GPUs or equivalent.
Projects that also have a supporting organization planning on adoption of the GPU-accelerated application in a product, service, or large-scale internal deployment, if successful, are eligible for a hardware grant of up to eight workstation GPUs or equivalent.
Projects that have a sponsoring organization investing resources in the project are eligible for a hardware grant based on project requirements and funding to support one to two researchers or research engineers.
There is no application deadline for this program and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Application responses may take up to 12 weeks and will largely depend on the scope and maturity of the project. Once an award letter is sent, some program benefits may take up to one month to arrive, depending on hardware shipping timelines. Some benefits, such as the ability to request letters of support for grant applications, will be available immediately.
No. NVIDIA has no intention of owning the IP of the applied research supported under the NVIDIA Applied Research Accelerator Program.
Our goal with this program is to support applied research that has the potential to lead to deployed GPU-accelerated applications, whereby other companies might potentially license the IP.
Applicants agree to comply with the NVIDIA Applied Research Accelerator Program Agreement.
Projects selected for the program commit to:
Providing an update every six months via a follow-up questionnaire provided by NVIDIA
Notifying NVIDIA of any publications and including acknowledgement of NVIDIA and our platforms when applicable
Submitting outcomes (if any) at GTC or any other NVIDIA events to promote your project
