'''National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR)''' is a shared national infrastructure initiative led by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in partnership with multiple federal agencies and private sector contributors, designed to provide U.S.-based researchers and educators with access to advanced computing, high-quality datasets, AI models, and training resources to advance responsible AI research and innovation. {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://nairrpilot.org/}} ==Mission== The National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource seeks to broaden participation in AI research by offering a comprehensive ecosystem of computational power, data, software, and user support, particularly targeting underrepresented communities, institutions, and regions. It supports foundational, use-inspired, and trustworthy AI research to address societal challenges, enhance education, and maintain U.S. leadership in AI, as outlined by the NAIRR Task Force’s vision launched in January 2024 as a pilot program.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://new.nsf.gov/news/national-artificial-intelligence-research |title=NAIRR Pilot Launch |publisher=National Science Foundation |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> ==Parent organization== The NAIRR operates under the [[National Science Foundation]], which serves as the lead agency coordinating the pilot and contributing significant resources, in collaboration with 12 other federal agencies and over 25 non-governmental partners.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://new.nsf.gov/news/national-artificial-intelligence-research |title=NAIRR Pilot Launch |publisher=National Science Foundation |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> ==Legislation== The NAIRR was authorized by the [https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6395 National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020] (Public Law 116-283, Title V), enacted January 1, 2021, directing NSF and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to establish a task force and develop this resource.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2023/01/24/national-artificial-intelligence-research-resource-task-force-releases-final-report/ |title=NAIRR Task Force Final Report |publisher=White House OSTP |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> ==Partners== * [[Department of Energy]] for high-performance computing and secure AI resources * [[National Institutes of Health]] for privacy-preserving AI research support<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-advancing-safe-and-secure-ai-research-infrastructure-through-national |title=DOE NAIRR Contributions |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> * Private sector contributors like Microsoft, Google, and NVIDIA for computational and software resources ==Number of employees== The exact number of employees is not specified, as NAIRR operates as a distributed pilot program leveraging staff from NSF, partner agencies, and contributing organizations rather than a standalone workforce.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://new.nsf.gov/news/national-artificial-intelligence-research |title=NAIRR Pilot Launch |publisher=National Science Foundation |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> ==Organization structure== NAIRR is structured as a pilot with focus areas coordinated by NSF and partners: ===Leader=== The National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Pilot is overseen by a Director within NSF’s Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://new.nsf.gov/news/national-artificial-intelligence-research |title=NAIRR Pilot Launch |publisher=National Science Foundation |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> ===Divisions=== The divisions include: * NAIRR Secure for privacy-preserving AI research (co-led by DOE and NIH).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-advancing-safe-and-secure-ai-research-infrastructure-through-national |title=DOE NAIRR Contributions |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> * Interoperability Team for AI software and tools (led by NSF). * Education and Outreach Team for training and community expansion (led by NSF). ==List of programs== * NAIRR Pilot Resource Access for AI research projects<ref>{{cite web |url=https://nairrpilot.org/allocations |title=NAIRR Pilot Allocations |publisher=NAIRR Pilot |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> * AI-Ready Datasets and Pre-Trained Models Provision * Educational Resource Development for AI training ==Last total enacted budget== The specific budget for NAIRR is not publicly isolated for FY 2024; it draws from NSF’s broader appropriations (e.g., $9.5 billion in FY 2024) and partner contributions, with initial investments like DOE’s $2.4 million in cloud resources noted in 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://new.nsf.gov/news/national-artificial-intelligence-research |title=NAIRR Pilot Launch |publisher=National Science Foundation |access-date=March 08, 2025}}</ref> ==Staff== NAIRR’s staff comprises coordinators, technical experts, and support personnel from NSF, DOE, NIH, and other partners, with no distinct employee count;
