I am interested in doing some AI-related research. Are there any current opportunities for support to do this work on the cloud?

Yes: The NAIRR pilot program is underway. For approved projects it provides research credits for work on AI in the cloud, supported by generous credit provisions from the cloud providers. The [NAIRR pilot opportunity](https://nairrpilot.org/) is referenced on [this CloudBank page](https://www.cloudbank.org/options-requesting-cloud-resources). For guidance on writing a successful proposal we call your attention to [best practices](https://www.cloudbank.org/best-practices-nairr-cloud-resource-requests) and the [example request](https://www.cloudbank.org/example-nairr-pilot-project-request). Visit this [NAIRR application page](https://nairrpilot.org/opportunities/allocations) to submit a proposal. Turnaround time is currently guesstimated at two months.
