From Idea to Infrastructure in Three Steps
Submit Your Pilot
Use the I-CAN single intake form to describe your compute needs — whether you're a researcher, startup, or public agency. No prior computing experience required.
I-CAN Matches You
Our resource-matching network routes your request to the best-fit center — Anvil, Jetstream, University Reseources at Purdue, IU or Notre Dame CRC, NAIRR, or commercial cloud — based on workload, timeline, and eligibility.
Access Compute and Expertise
Get connected to world-class AI infrastructure and domain expertise. Industry pilots transition to a self-sustaining fee-for-service model via Purdue's established mechanism.
World-Class Resources, One Access Point
Interconnected national and campus resources, matched to your workload by I-CAN's expert consultants.
