Practical overview
When it fits
Use FutureHouse’s site to understand the lab’s scientific-AI research and initiatives. Check its project information for details about any specific tool or access route before planning to use one.
Who it is for
- Scientists interested in AI-supported research, particularly in biology.
- Readers exploring research automation and AI systems for scientific discovery.
Documented uses
- Explore AI-assisted scientific literature research.
- Learn about tools for forming scientific hypotheses and designing experiments.
- Consider AI support for interpreting research results and coordinating biology research workflows.
Requirements & limits
- The described work focuses primarily on biology and scientific discovery.
- The available information describes a research lab and its initiatives, rather than a specified public-facing agent or deployment platform.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Apply to the FutureHouse AI-for-Science Fellowship
Prepare to apply as an early-career scientist with a clear AI-accelerated research agenda.
Before you start
- Be a recent PhD or current postdoc.
- Have a clear AI-accelerated research agenda.
Steps
Review the fellowship overview and application information.
Prepare an application describing your scientific vision and research agenda.
Submit an application when applications open; the site says they typically open in December.
Expected outcome
Applicants can seek a one-year fellowship, with a possible second-year extension, and access to FutureHouse AI Scientists, compute resources, a wet lab, and an engineering team.
Guide limitations
- The fellowship is for early-career scientists; this is not a documented recipe for using a public-facing AI agent.
- The source does not provide application procedures, deadlines, or selection criteria beyond the stated qualifications.
- Applications typically open in December; no specific date is given.
