About the series
The NSF State and Regional Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Hubs program aims to expand access to the computing resources needed for AI-enabled scientific discovery and strengthen research, education, and workforce development at institutions of higher education.
The program will support flexible state and regional consortia that bring together government organizations, research institutions, philanthropy, and the private sector to connect researchers with new computing and data infrastructure, accelerate AI-enabled discovery across science and engineering, and develop a skilled technical workforce to support the use of AI across the scientific enterprise. NSF support will focus on consortium coordination, AI infrastructure workforce development, faculty training, and coursework development.
Key goals of the program include:
- To expand access to compute.
- To accelerate AI-enabled scientific discovery.
- To develop AI for the science workforce.
The event will be divided into two parts:
- The first webinar will be presented by NSF Program Directors and will include an overview of the program. This event will take place on Aug. 26, 2026, from 2-3 p.m. EDT.
- The second webinar will allow attendees to hear from technology and philanthropy organizations that have offered support to bidders of the AI Infrastructure Hubs program. There will also be breakout rooms for each state so attendees can learn who from their state and region is also interested in the program and to facilitate collaborations. This second event will take place on Sept. 2, 2026, from 3-4 p.m. EDT.
