This National Science Foundation award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $399,999 to Bowie State University, a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in Maryland, to integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) advancements, including generative AI and large language models, into the university's curriculum and research activities. The project aims to bridge the significant gap in AI education and research for African Americans and other underrepresented groups, ensuring the future AI workforce reflects the diversity of the society it serves. Key objectives include establishing an AI computing infrastructure, conducting faculty and student training, creating an AI-focused faculty learning community, offering AI research opportunities, and developing AI curriculum modules across disciplines. The project employs a blend of direct instruction, hands-on workshops, and faculty-student collaborative research, supported by the latest advancements in generative AI and large language models. This award, co-funded by the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program, aligns with the NSF's mission to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in science and engineering, enriching the field with diverse perspectives and fostering inclusion and innovation.
