Steps to join the INRC
1. Choose Member Category
The INRC offers the following types of membership based on your research goals and type of organization.
Research Member - PI:
To apply, you should be a permanent employee of an established research organization, such as a university, corporate or government lab. You must submit a project proposal to use Loihi 2. Approved proposals will receive access to neuromorphic hardware to conduct their project.

To become a Research Member, continue to Step 2 below. |
New team member? To add a member to an existing project, the PI should email inrc_interest@intel.com with the full name and email for the new member.
Affiliate Member:
Open to members of the research and technology ecosystem. Affiliates participate in INRC events, learn, and share their expertise. Affiliates do not have access to Intel neuromorphic technology, so this category is most appropriate for theoretical researchers, analysts, and others who wish to participate in the community in a non-technical role.

2. Prepare Project Plan
To join the INRC as a Research Member, Intel requires a sufficiently detailed project proposal to evaluate the impact and likelihood of success. We recommend you use the INRC Proposal Template.
We also encourage research members to fill out the INRC Algorithm Assessment or INRC Application Assessment where appropriate. These brief questionnaires help clarify the impact of neuromorphic research projects.
INRC Affiliates do not need to submit a project plan.
3. Submit Application

4. Execute Participation Agreement
Intel will contact you once your request has been reviewed if an INRC Participation Agreement is required. The Participation Agreement is the formal agreement between your organization and Intel.
The INRC RFP above includes a summary of the terms and conditions of the Participation Agreement.
5. Get involved!
Join us at the next INRC Forum, attend the INRC Workshops, and meet your fellow community members. Depending on your goals, here are a few of the steps you might take:
Need to review Loihi-specific documentation? Check your inbox for an invitation to Confluence, then head over to https://intel-ncl.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NAP
