Anthropic says it will allocate $200 million to support RCTs and pilot studies, including work with partners that can scale effective small pilots.

The company says it is looking for studies that:

use randomized assignment or other causal research designs
are large enough to detect policy-relevant effects, often with sample sizes in the thousands to tens of thousands of workers
partner with state, local, or national government agencies where relevant
pre-register designs and publish results regardless of outcome
translate directly into policy levers governments can use
can scale beyond the initial analysis phase
