The '''National AI Research Institutes''', established in 2020 under the America COMPETES Act of 2007 and expanded by the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020, are administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with support from partners like the Simons Foundation, Department of Defense (DOD), and Intel Corporation, to foster AI research, allocating over $1 billion since inception to support approximately 18 institutes annually by 2025. Initially funded with $140 million, it has grown to distribute $250 million in FY 2025 across 18 initiatives, funding projects like AI for climate resilience at Cornell University and healthcare innovation at Stanford University at research hubs nationwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nsf.gov/national-ai-research-institutes |title=National AI Research Institutes |publisher=National Science Foundation}}</ref> Despite its impact, challenges like funding competition, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical concerns persist (web ID: 6), but it remains a key NSF effort to advance AI research.
