NSF 24-109 – Dear Colleague Letter: NAIRR Pilot Expansion: Researcher Training, Community Outreach, and Classroom Education

The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Advancing education for the future AI workforce (EducateAI) Initiative and the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot both aim to promote and diversify AI education and AI workforce development. The NAIRR pilot launched in January 2024 as a proof of concept to demonstrate the value and potential impact of the full NAIRR vision and strives to expand access to the critical computing, data, model, software, and user support resources needed to advance AI education and research in a manner that protects privacy, civil rights and civil liberties. Broadening access to AI resources, and training new researchers, educators, and students to use the available computing, data, platforms, software, models, tools and expertise is a critical area called out in the NAIRR Task Force Report. NSF's EducateAI initiative aims to enable educators to make state-of-the-art inclusive AI educational experiences available nationwide. The focus is on teaching AI concepts, not on the use of AI in teaching other subjects.

Proposals and supplemental funding requests will be considered as they are submitted and as funding is available through December 15, 2024.
