The National AI Research Institutes program enables longer-term research and U.S. leadership in AI through the creation of AI Research Institutes. This program is a multisector effort led by the National Science Foundation in partnership with the Simons Foundation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Defense Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Capital One Financial Corporation, and Intel Corporation.  
  
This program solicitation expands the nationwide network of AI Research Institutes with new funding opportunities over the next two years. In this round, the program invites proposals for institutes that have a principal focus on one of the following themes:

Theme 1 projects will be jointly funded with the Simons Foundation. Note that the Simons Foundation has a specific indirect cost rate policy. Additional information is available on the Simons Foundation website. Intel Corporation is providing partial support for Theme 2, and Capital One is providing contributions for the partial funding of an award in Theme 3. Agency partners listed on this solicitation (OUSD (R&E) and NIST) may also elect to provide contributions to NSF for the funding of Institutes under Theme 3.

 

Organizations may submit no more than two proposals to this solicitation as the lead institution. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is facilitating an internal application, review, and selection process for applications submitted to all themes. Interested applicants must submit an internal pre-proposal by September 10, 2023 to be considered for the Harvard nominations. An individual may be designated as senior personnel (which includes but is not limited to PI or co-PI) on at most one preliminary proposal, and at most one full proposal to this solicitation.
