The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,999 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program to the University of Illinois, doing business as The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. The grant, titled "III: SMALL: FAIRNESS-AWARE DATA STRUCTURES FOR APPROXIMATE QUERY PROCESSING," aims to design data structures with theoretical fairness guarantees for approximate query processing in database systems. The project seeks to identify and resolve potential fairness issues in database indices, with the goal of developing a system for fair data structures that can integrate into existing data management platforms. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific discovery and promote broader societal impacts. The project is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2027.
