## What the grant funds

The NIST’s Public Safety Innovation Accelerator Program (PSIAP) is seeking applications from eligible applicants for activities to collaborate with technical experts from NIST, industry/academia, and public safety in developing and implementing the Artificial Intelligence for IoT Information (AI3) Prize Competition. The AI3 Prize Competition aims to utilize artificial intelligence learning techniques to make disparate situational awareness data sources actionable for first responders. The AI3 Prize Competition seeks to attract experts and innovators from industry and academia to focus on this difficult challenge by offering a monetary prize purse and an opportunity to help public safety solve this overarching problem. The AI3 Prize Competition award will include all aspects of prize development, implementation, and post-competition publicity and evaluation of the project impact.
