Award Overview: The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2.59 million Cooperative Agreement under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Alabama, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Titled "RII Track 2 FEC: Building Research Infrastructure and Workforce in Edge Artificial Intelligence," this Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Track 2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations award funds a multi-institutional research consortium spanning six universities—including two minority-serving institutions—and private-sector partners across Alabama, Arkansas, and North Dakota. Products and Services Delivered: The award funds development of integrated research infrastructure and workforce capacity in Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI), which processes data directly on edge devices such as cameras, smartphones, and wearable devices rather than relying on remote cloud computing. Key technical innovations to be delivered include: (1) lightweight AI-empowered reasoning and machine learning algorithms optimized for edge platforms; (2) a novel application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design methodology enabling ultra-low power, reconfigurable AI ASICs with abbreviated development cycles; (3) a sensor device platform leveraging functionalized nano-scaled sensing materials and nano-3D printing techniques; and (4) an edge AI device platform exploiting advanced technologies. As a proof-of-concept, the consortium will develop a smart wearable device to predict diabetes onset by monitoring patient breath without requiring physician interpretation. The award additionally provides research training for advanced undergraduate students and high school teacher education programs to build the future U.S. workforce in Edge AI principles. Sub-awardees include Alabama A&M University, University of South Alabama, University of Arkansas, University of North Dakota, and North Dakota State University.Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary
