Summary

The OpenAI Foundation, the nonprofit parent of OpenAI, launched Public Data for Health to fund the creation of high-quality scientific datasets for AI in biology and medicine. Its first round of data grants includes $40 million for a University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill program collecting data on novel cancer vaccines, and $500,000 for Ruxandra Teslo's proposal, pursued by 1Day Sooner, to acquire regulatory filings and safety data from failed biotech companies through bankruptcy proceedings.
