This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Boise State University. The $242,809 award will enable the university to engage 10 students annually over 3 years in collaborative, team-based research focused on exploring innovative solutions to technical challenges in blockchain technology. The program aims to prepare students for careers in computer science, foster a diverse pipeline of future blockchain leaders, and promote STEM involvement among underrepresented groups. Key project activities include providing students with hands-on experience in blockchain fundamentals, principles, and applications, with a focus on enhancing security and trustworthiness. The university will make instructional and evaluation materials available online and disseminate research findings at academic conferences and in journals.
