The College of Engineering, Agricultural Research Division and Office of Research and Innovation will host an information session on the National AI Research Resource Pilot , which is led by the National Science Foundation. Faculty interested in learning about the program can attend a Zoom webinar, 2 to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 6. Registration is required to receive the event link.
During the webinar, Katie Antypas, office director for NSF’s Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, will highlight opportunities for the community to get involved in the pilot by: applying to use program resources; contributing demonstration projects to the pilot; and helping to reach and train new communities on how to access and use NAIRR resources.
The pilot is a concept for a national infrastructure that connects U.S. based researchers and educators to computational, data, software, model and user support resources necessary to power AI innovation and advance the AI ecosystem in responsible manner. The NSF launched the pilot in January 2024 and is focusing on supporting research and education across broad and diverse communities, while also serving as a vehicle for gaining insights that will refine the design of NAIRR’s full implementation.
