Opportunity Information: Apply for 25 546
The “Foundations for Operating the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource” grant opportunity aims to establish a central operations organization—the NAIRR Operations Center (NAIRR-OC)—to support and guide the transition from the current NAIRR Pilot to a long-term, sustainable national infrastructure for AI research and education. NAIRR, led by the NSF along with other federal and private sector partners, is a strategic initiative intended to enhance U.S. competitiveness in AI by expanding access to high-end computational tools, datasets, models, and expertise.
The awarded organization will play a leading role in shaping and managing NAIRR operations, driving community development, facilitating access to shared resources, coordinating with existing pilot projects, and integrating new technologies. Key responsibilities include establishing operational frameworks, maintaining a unified access platform, building partnerships, and scaling support for AI research and education across the U.S.
Only U.S.-based organizations are eligible, including for-profit businesses, non-profit research entities, higher education institutions, and specific federal agencies or research centers. A single award will be granted, with the possibility of expanded responsibilities in future phases, depending on performance and available funding.Apply for 25 546
