https://www. nist. gov/artificial-intelligence/ai-research Artificial Intelligence: Fundamental and Applied Research and Standards NIST AI Vitals Fact Sheet NIST develops tools to measure and understand the capabilities and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
NIST’s role in AI is to develop the foundational and applied research that leads to trustworthy AI systems. NIST works with the AI community to establish the technical requirements needed to cultivate the trust that AI systems are accurate and reliable, safe and secure, explainable, and free from bias. NIST is also looking to future AI computing paradigms beyond the current computing architectures.
In FY 2018, NIST initiated the Fundamental and Applied Research and Standards for AI Technologies (FARSAIT) program, which is designed to advance the fundamental and applied AI research at NIST.
FARSAIT’s fundamental AI research aims to develop a metrologist’s guide to AI systems that addresses the complex intertwinement of different aspects of trustworthy AI as well as terminology and taxonomy as it relates to the several layers of the AI space. The guide will consider the impact on social norms, policymakers, AI measurement, and AI development and deployment.
FARSAIT’s applied AI research promotes applying AI techniques to NIST research programs in areas including advanced materials discovery, robotic systems in manufacturing environments, and wireless networked control systems.
To ensure technical standards reflect Federal priorities for innovation, public trust, and confidence in systems that use AI technologies, NIST is participating in the development of international standards to promote U.S. competitiveness.

Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program invites innovative multidisciplinary and multisector investigations focused on convergent research and education activities in wildland fire. It supports research that can inform risk management and response, adaptation, and resilience across infrastructures, communities, cultures, and natural environments. Relevant topics include developing novel materials and methods for retrofitting existing buildings and remediating buildings following wildfire and smoke events.
The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
