Cooperative Agreement 2433429
- This Project Grant award of $596,868 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to Syracuse University. The award supports research to determine how to best measure the relationship between the perception of artificial intelligence (AI) systems as having human-like minds and the efficacy of those AI systems as social companions. The project aims to address the fundamental question of whether perceiving...
- This $414,995 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop personalized artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can tailor their responses to individual users based on their unique backgrounds and needs. Key objectives include: Gathering a diverse dataset to characterize the types of responses preferred by different people, particularly underrepresented groups. Using this data to...
- This $348,757 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research to define and measure social and emotional understanding in artificial intelligence (AI) language models. The project, led by the University of Texas at Austin, aims to develop rigorous methods for assessing the emotional capacity of AI systems, in order to enable the creation of more capable and safer conversational AI that...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Trustees of Princeton University to develop new online tools and platforms that enable behavioral science researchers to conduct large-scale experiments studying human-AI interactions. The project aims to build infrastructure that allows thousands of humans and AI "bots" to meet and interact, enabling scientists to investigate how humans...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with CFDA number 47.070, will enable a REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site at Brown University focused on artificial intelligence for computational creativity. The $364,562 award, with a project duration from June 2025 to May 2028, will provide undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary research on AI-driven creative...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project led by Emory University to develop an interactive artificial intelligence (AI) teammate system for upskilling mental health workers. The $548,297 award aims to understand how AI can be effectively and ethically integrated into mental health work to address the shortage of skilled workers and improve access to research-supported treatment protocols. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $149,951 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and Oakland University. The funding will support a two-year collaborative research project to advance the utilization of the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) by organizing a series of 24 hands-on workshops. The workshops will train emerging researchers on integrating NAIRR's computational...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $298,882 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Wyoming, in collaboration with the Computing Research Association, Loyola University of Chicago, and the College of Charleston. The grant aims to expand access to artificial intelligence (AI) education at research-emerging institutions with small-to-medium computing programs. The project will facilitate a community of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $461,597 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to establish an Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on applied artificial intelligence (AI) research. The project, running from April 2024 to March 2027, provides undergraduate students, particularly those underrepresented in STEM, the opportunity to participate in AI research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) federal grant program has awarded $300,000.00 to the University of Hawaii at Hilo, in collaboration with the Computing Research Association, New Mexico State University, and the University of Alaska, to engage faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and expand artificial intelligence (AI) education capacity. The project will facilitate a community of practice, develop best practices for AI...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $4,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to Brown University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to establish the AI Research Institute on Interaction for AI Assistants (ARIA). ARIA will focus on accelerating the development of next-generation AI assistants for mental and behavioral health, where trust, empathy, and personalization are critical but current AI systems fall short. The institute will bring together researchers from multiple disciplines, including computer science, neuroscience, cognitive science, philosophy, law, and education, along with mental health practitioners and civil society groups, to advance technology and improve human well-being. ARIA's research activities will center around three interconnected pillars: grounding, instructability, and alignment, with the goal of developing trustworthy AI assistants. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2030.
