Amgen Foundation AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
For the Amgen Scholars Program, there are currently no program-wide conditions on generative AI in applications, though host institutions may set their own rules. Applicants who use AI are asked to use discernment and fully cite sources that are not their own work.
For applicants
- The Amgen Scholars Program currently places no specific conditions or restrictions on AI in applications, but host institutions may have their own guidelines, so applicants should read each host's instructions.[1]
- Applicants who use ChatGPT or other generative AI should exercise discernment about appropriate content and fully cite primary sources that are not their own work.[1]

“At present, there are no specific conditions or restrictions applied to applications for the Amgen Scholars Program. However, Amgen Scholars Program hosts may have more specific guidelines at their institutions, and we encourage applicants to read carefully through application submission instructions for explicit guidance on the use of generative AI beyond the general considerations below.”
“If you intend to use ChatGPT or other generative AI, please be mindful that your responsibility as an applicant requires a high degree of discernment about what is appropriate content, and, as with any other academic writing, a dedication to fully cite primary sources that are not your own work.”
