You need a PhD or equivalent, a committed US host lab, first-author publications, and research that advances informatics beyond routine bioinformatics analysis.

The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship is the oldest and best known graduate award in American science.

NSF expects to make about 1,500 awards.

Google Higher Ed Faculty AI Fellowship 2026 - No Stipend
The Google Higher Ed Faculty AI Fellowship is Google for Education's recognition programme for university faculty who already put AI to work in their teaching and research. Applications for the 2026 inaugural cohort are open, and there are two ways in: a personal nomination from a Google leader, or a self-application through the Google for Education application portal. Selected fellows join a global network, act as ambassadors for responsible AI on their campus, and work on one impact challenge they name themselves. Google publishes no stipend, no salary and no award amount for this fellowship, and its own FAQ says fellows must self-fund travel, accommodation, parking and any meals the programme does not cover at the in-person convening. The application asks for a short portfolio of innovation, a 90-second video, an impact challenge and a letter from your Dean or Program Chair.
Hubert Humphrey Fellowship 2028-2029 - Fully Funded
The Hubert Humphrey Fellowship brings mid-career professionals from more than 100 eligible countries to the USA for a 10-month, non-degree year of graduate-level study, leadership training and a six-week professional affiliation. The US Department of State pays tuition and fees, a monthly maintenance allowance, a settling-in allowance, accident and sickness cover, a book allowance, a one-time computer subsidy, international airfare and a professional development allowance. You apply through the US Embassy or Binational Fulbright Commission in your own country, and each one sets its own deadline.
Anthropic Fellows Program 2027 - AI Safety Research
The Anthropic Fellows Program pays technical people to spend four months doing full-time empirical AI research with an Anthropic mentor, aiming at a public output such as a paper. Fellows receive a weekly stipend of 3,850 USD (2,310 GBP or 4,300 CAD), benefits that vary by country, and roughly 15,000 dollars a month of compute funding. Five workstreams run under the same programme: AI Safety, AI Security, ML Systems and Performance, Reinforcement Learning, and the Anthropic Institute covering economics and policy. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis for the next cohort, which Anthropic expects to start in January 2027. The hard gate is location: you must already hold work authorisation in the US, the UK or Canada and be in that country during the programme, because no visas are sponsored for fellows.

You must be a college senior graduating between November 2026 and summer 2027 from an accredited four-year institution, and you must already be able to work in the United States, because host organisations cannot sponsor work visas.
