- Get access to NVIDIA hardware and software solutions for your project.
- Qualify for grants to accelerate your applied research.
The NVIDIA Applied Research Accelerator Program supports research projects that have the potential to make a real-world impact through the deployment of NVIDIA-accelerated applications adopted by commercial and government organizations. This program accelerates 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, applicants must be able to satisfy all of the requirements listed below.
Sign up for the Developer Program to get notified when the next submission window opens.
The program offers different tiers of support, depending on the scope and maturity of the project, as well as technical alignment.
Projects that meet all eligibility requirements can receive up to $20K USD in hardware or cloud compute and is the equivalent of up to four workstation GPUs.
If a commercial or government organization is planning to adopt the GPU-accelerated application in a product, service, or large-scale internal deployment, the project is eligible for up to $60K USD in hardware or cloud compute. This is the equivalent of up to eight workstation GPUs.
If a commercial or government organization is investing resources, the project is eligible for up to $160K USD in hardware, cloud compute, and/or cash to support research engineers converting code from research to production to help with adoption.
We are not accepting applications right now. Register for the Developer Program to get notified when the next submission window opens.
No. NVIDIA has no intention of owning the IP developed under the NVIDIA Applied Research Accelerator Program. The goal of this program is to support applied research projects that have high potential to result in deployed GPU-accelerated applications.
Applicants agree to comply with the NVIDIA Applied Research Accelerator Program Agreement. Projects selected for the program must:
Provide an update every six months via a follow-up questionnaire provided by NVIDIA.
Notify NVIDIA of any publications that include acknowledgement of NVIDIA support and NVIDIA technologies used, when applicable.
Submit applications to present research outcomes (if any) at GTC or other NVIDIA events to promote the project.
