Amazon Catalyst Grants

Fall Quarter Application Deadline:  December 16, 2017

Amazon Catalyst is a collaboration with select universities whose mission is to seek out and fund bold and risky projects proposed by members of the university community. Amazon Catalyst is NOT a research fund and is not appropriate for basic research. Rather, it is a “project fund”: proposals must address a visible problem in the world and must present a practical solution to that problem.

Grants awarded range between $10,000 to $100,000 for projects lasting from 3-18 months, and successful applicants are given the title “Amazon Catalyst Fellow.” All members of the UW community are eligible to apply, including students, faculty, and staff from all disciplines, including the humanities, arts, sciences, and engineering.
