Get ACCESS Through ARNI
Do you need better computing resources for your project, research, or interest? ARNI is offering subscriptions to the NSF The ACCESS Allocations Service.
Get NAIRR Pilot
"The NAIRR Pilot aims to connect U.S. researchers and educators to computational, data, and training resources needed to advance AI research and research that employs AI. Federal agencies are collaborating with government-supported and non-governmental partners to implement the Pilot as a preparatory step toward an eventual full NAIRR implementation."
