Corrigibility Research Fund
The Corrigibility Research Fund is a program of Lightcone Infrastructure Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which keeps final approval of every grant and prize. In 2026 the fund is disbursing at least $200,000, split roughly evenly between grants and retroactive prizes. Grants are typically $5k to $35k; applicants submit on Lightcone Commons and mention corrigibility, applications are public, and early submissions get more feedback. Retroactive prizes reward excellent corrigibility work done in 2026 with no application; anyone can nominate their own or someone else's work by email. Round 1 awarded eight grants totaling $132k, announced September 3, 2026, and prizes for existing work totaling $75k were announced September 30, 2026. The Round 2 grant deadline was October 31, 2026.
