This National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Traineeship (NRT) Program award to Cornell University will develop an interdisciplinary graduate training and research program on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Sustainability Sciences and Engineering (AISSE). The $3,000,000 grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, aims to cultivate a skilled workforce proficient in both AI and sustainability to address critical challenges such as climate change and decarbonization of energy and agri-food systems.

The project plans to train 105 PhD students, including 25 NRT Fellows, 30 project-focused Fellows, and 50 NRT travel grant awardees from 16 academic departments across Cornell's colleges. The AISSE NRT program will develop advanced AI methodologies to create sustainable materials, decarbonize energy systems, enable climate-smart food production, and analyze the energy-food-climate nexus. Key training elements include a small-grant initiative, a rigorous practicum program, and an immersive bootcamp. The curriculum will feature harmonized courses, cross-field lab rotations, and joint mentorships to promote interdisciplinary research training, as well as professional skill development in areas like scientific communication, team science, ethics, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
