Description:
This presentation provides a clear, beginner-friendly overview of the
*National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR)*—a federally
supported cyberinfrastructure designed to democratize access to advanced AI
computing, data, and models for U.S.-based researchers and educators.

The resource explains what NAIRR is, who is eligible, and what types of
resources are available, including high-performance computing (GPU clusters),
cloud credits, AI models and APIs, datasets, and educational platforms. It
also outlines NAIRR participation pathways such as *Start-Up Projects*,
*Research Resources*, and *Educational Resources*, along with proposal
expectations and evaluation criteria.

This guide is intended for faculty, students, and educators who are new to
NAIRR and want a practical starting point for using national AI
infrastructure to support research, teaching, and workforce development.
