About the event
The U.S. National Science Foundation invites you to attend a webinar on the National Coordination Lead competition for the TechAccess: AI-Ready America (NSF AI-Ready America) program.
NSF will award one National Coordination Lead to work with NSF and other partners to provide overarching coordination for the NSF AI-Ready America initiative. The National Coordination Lead will facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among Coordination Hubs, align efforts across priority economic sectors and inform national artificial intelligence strategies. NSF anticipates awarding up to $5 million per year in funding for up to five years.
During this webinar, NSF program directors will explain the goals, eligibility and proposal preparation for the National Coordination Lead competition. The session will include a formal presentation followed by a moderated Q&A.
TechAccess: AI-Ready America is a national-scale initiative to accelerate Artificial Intelligence (AI) readiness and adoption across the U.S. by strengthening coordination, leveraging partnerships and resources, filling gaps, and scaling what works—so local and state priorities can lead in shaping an AI-driven economy that benefits all Americans. This webinar series will introduce three major NSF funding opportunities designed to accelerate AI readiness, workforce development and innovation. Sessions will provide guidance on program goals, eligibility and proposal development. Featured opportunities include TechAccess: AI-Ready America State/Territory Coordination Hubs, National Coordination Lead and AI-Ready Catalyst Award competitions.
