Universities, research institutes, labs and government research and public-health agencies can apply for a grant of three months of Omi, with a month of guided training for all of its staff. Anyone from the organisation can apply on its behalf.
Apply for the grantAn AI research partner that does the analysis with you, and teaches the method as it goes.
Omi writes and runs real code on your own data, in a live notebook, and explains each step as it goes.
Your staff learn to run their own analyses instead of waiting on a specialist.
Work that takes days to set up starts in minutes, with every step visible and repeatable.
Raw data files are read on your own computer, not uploaded to our servers.
The pilot has room for three institutions.
A practical programme, open to all of the organisation's staff, built around real scientific use cases: scientific analysis, bioinformatics and computational biology workflows, using AI for research, and using Omi for analysis.
Use Omi for your organisation's research, lab projects, data analysis and academic work. Every member of staff who joined the training can keep using Omi through Omi's organisational features.
Later stages depend on use. We review your account activity and your progress form before each release, so credits go to people who are actively working with Omi.
How the value is worked out. About $8,000 per organisation: three months of access at list price for a team of about 20, plus one month of training for all staff. The credits are one pool shared across your organisation.
Real analyses on your own data, with the methods explained as they run. This is the kind of work the grant is meant to unlock in your institution.
Classify 16S reads against SILVA or NCBI references, measure diversity, and explore the result as an interactive chart. Every taxon is assigned from your reads, not from memory.
Search public genomes by country or host, then check them against CARD, VFDB and PlasmidFinder. Results cite the database version, so you can report exactly what was used.
Run differential expression on a real count matrix, check the volcano plot and the top genes, and get a plain explanation of what the result does and does not show.
Trim reads, call variants against a reference, and predict each effect on the protein, with a live ClinVar lookup alongside. Whole-genome work is routed to a proper pipeline and said so plainly.
Predict genes, build a pan-genome, test which functions are enriched in the accessory genome, and draw the core-genome tree and genome map, all from a folder of assemblies.
Scan real papers across sources to see what is still unanswered, verify each citation against its DOI, and draft the report in the format your target journal expects.
The grant is awarded to the organisation. Anyone who works there can apply on its behalf; no formal nomination is needed.
Before each new release you tell us how you've used Omi, your use cases, projects and analyses, your feedback, challenges, and what you plan to do next. A short check-in, by call or a walkthrough of a real session, comes with it.
A final response covering what you achieved and whether you'll continue. With your consent it may become a testimonial, case study or institutional partnership.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
