NERSC Opens 2026 Call for AI Science Proposals

The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) opened its 2026 call for scientific proposals on March 19, 2026 ^[1]. This initiative invites projects to use the Perlmutter supercomputer to advance research in fields like chemistry and physics ^[1]. Researchers can access the application portal through the official NERSC website ^[2]. These selected projects will use high-performance computing to accelerate discoveries in materials science and other complex domains ^[1]. NERSC provides these resources to help integrate artificial intelligence into the scientific community ^[1][2]. Interested teams must follow the specific submission guidelines provided by the center ^[2].
