The National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot has opened calls for projects with a 12 month duration for computational resources funded by federal agencies as well as resources contributed by private and non-profit sector partners. This call for allocation proposals encompasses projects covering any of the cross-cutting or domain focus areas for the NAIRR Pilot.
Cross-cutting focus areas:
- Advancing AI methods that enable scientific discovery.
- Creating open-source foundation models for specific applications.
- Using large-scale models to explore complex datasets interactively.
- Advancing approaches for integrating simulations and AI.
- Using experimental data from sensors, detectors, or other edge instruments.
- Empowering use of scientific data by other stakeholders and the public.
- Training and educating a cohort of scholars in AI technologies and their responsible use.
- Probe key AI challenges using sensitive data including privacy-preserving methods.
Domain specific areas:
- Accelerating societally-relevant research on AI safety, reliability, security, and privacy.
- Empowering advances in cancer treatment and individual health outcomes.
- Supporting resilience and optimization of agricultural, water, and grid infrastructure.
- Improving design, control, and quality of advanced manufacturing systems.
- Addressing earth, environmental, and climate challenges via integration of diverse data and models.
Proposals will be reviewed on an ongoing monthly cycle. Requests submitted by the 15th of the month will be reviewed and have their outcome decided by the end of the month. Projects will be awarded for twelve (12) months duration.
