**Building Research Capacity Through AI, Cyberinfrastructure, and Cybersecurity** is a two-day workshop hosted by **Florida Memorial University** and the **MS-CC** on **October 8–9, 2026**. Designed for faculty, researchers, students, research administrators, technology professionals, and institutional leaders, it explores how AI, advanced computing, cybersecurity, and national research resources can strengthen research capacity. Through practical sessions, hands-on activities, and collaborative planning, participants will examine research infrastructure, data and security needs, resources such as **ACCESS** and **NAIRR**, partnership development, and funding opportunities. **No prior experience with AI or advanced computing is required.** By the end of the workshop, attendees will be better prepared to identify capabilities needed for modern research, apply AI in research and teaching, address cybersecurity and data governance considerations, connect with collaborators, and take concrete next steps toward a research project, proposal, or institutional capacity-building effort.
