This edition of the call for proposals reflects Amazon's ongoing efforts to collaborate with researchers in a variety of areas.
ARA provides grant recipients unrestricted funds and AWS promotional credits. Funded projects are assigned an Amazon research contact, and recipients also receive training resources, including AWS tutorials and hands-on sessions with Amazon scientists and engineers.
