In July 2026, NSF hosted a virtual kickoff meeting series for the Integrated Data Systems & Services (IDSS) program where the newly funded projects introduced their work.
The Integrated Data Systems & Services program supports national-scale data cyberinfrastructure that broadly advances open, data-intensive, and AI-driven science and engineering. This kickoff brings the program’s projects together to share their goals, plans, and the communities they serve.

An introduction to the Fabric of AI-driven Data services and the goals of the IDSS kickoff.
A Federated National AI-Ready Data Ecosystem for Discovery, Innovation, Education, and Workforce Development
Every Scientist Should Be Able to Collaborate with Every Scientific Facility and Every AI: A National Digital Backbone for Autonomous Scientific Discovery
Building a shared, open-source platform in which scientific data from many fields are automatically described, organized, and connected.
A National Center to Democratize Multi-Disciplinary Data Science and AI
A unified environment that connects researchers, educators, and students to interactive computing and data across five NSF-supported NAIRR and ACCESS sites and two cloud providers.
Engaging stakeholders to build a coherent strategy for national-scale operational data infrastructure for personal data — human and related data containing sensitive information.
Metadata infrastructure for intelligent and efficient scientific data sharing and discovery, so researchers can find and reuse data produced across the national research ecosystem.
he project will investigate the feasibility, community acceptance, and design requirements for a federated, cross-domain, AI-ready data cyberinfrastructure.
This project aims to develop a plan for a national scale operational data infrastructure for personal data, i.e., human and related data containing sensitive information.
Democratizing access to complex environmental data for water, health, and energy resilience in the Gulf Coast — for researchers of any technical background.
