About & Methodology
AI Opportunity Radar curated AI grants, fellowships, internships, courses, and fractional jobs. This page explains how listings were sourced and verified while the project was active, and why it's since been paused.
This project is paused
As of 2026-07-28, this project is no longer being actively curated — no new opportunities are being added, and the automated discovery pipeline described below is turned off. The listings already on the site remain visible and are accurate as of each entry's last-verified date; nothing has been deleted or left to silently go stale. The site is kept live as a working demonstration of the project rather than taken down.
Curation policy
- We deliberately exclude evergreen brand-name programs that are already covered everywhere else, in favor of listings that are genuinely harder to discover.
- Every candidate listing runs through a deterministic relevance filter before it's ever shown to a human reviewer or a language model — aggregator domains and listicle-style sources are dropped automatically, and primary sources (official program pages, .gov, .edu) are weighted up.
- A human reviews every entry before it's merged into the public catalog — nothing is auto-published straight from a crawler.
- Listings are periodically re-checked against their official source. The date of the most recent check is stored as
lastVerifiedand shown on the entry's own page as "Verified on {date}".
Deadline integrity
Opportunities are either rolling (no fixed closing date — shown with a "Rolling" badge and excluded from countdown reminders) or fixed-deadline (shown as a countdown, e.g. "12 days left"). We never invent a deadline for a rolling opportunity, and fixed-deadline entries are automatically removed from public listings once they close, so search engines and readers are never sent to an expired application page.
Subscription model
The email digest is free and requires no account. Subscribers receive a biweekly digest of newly added opportunities and a weekly roundup of listings closing soon. You can also follow a single opportunity for deadline-specific reminders without subscribing to the full digest. Unsubscribing is a one-click link included in every email, or available anytime at /unsubscribe.
