Anthropic is launching thematic calls for AI for Science projects focused on rare genetic diseases, with two tracks: one for basic researchers and another for early-stage biotechs. Accepted applicants will receive up to $50,000 in Claude credits over six months to explore how AI can reshape our understanding of rare diseases. The program aims to support research on rare diseases, which affect an estimated 400 million people worldwide, by leveraging AI to model rare genetic diseases, synthesize findings, and create shared terminology.
