Named recipients include Emmanuel Candès at Stanford for work on pairwise human preference data and Haifeng Xu at the University of Chicago for studies on predictive capabilities.

    @arenaAnnouncing the Fall 2026 cycle of @arena's Academic Partnerships Program. We're accepting new proposals from tenure-track faculty at U.S. universities working on the scientific foundations of AI evaluation: evaluation and ranking methodology, measurement and validity, learning from human preference, and safety and alignment. Funding of up to $50,000 per project is available, and we'll continue reviewing submissions twice a year, each Spring and Fall. Congratulations to our first Spring 2026 cohort of 7 selected research projects! Head to the thread to see who was selected, learn more about the program, and find out how to submit your own proposal for Fall.
    @ml_angelopoulosIf you are an academic studying the foundations of AI Evaluation, we'd love to work with you.
    @tallinzenThanks @arena for your support for this project, designed and led by @ravfogel! There's a lot of interest in the field in evaluating LLMs' ability to reflect on their own thoughts, but it's tricky to get the evaluation paradigms right - we're planning to try!
    @wsisaacVery exciting!
