The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $552,607 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program to Saint Louis University (SLU). The grant, titled "MODERNCARE: Modernizing Campus Cyberinfrastructure for AI-Enhanced Research and Education," aims to establish a new high-performance computing (HPC) cluster with advanced CPU and GPU nodes to support AI-enabled research and education across nine key science areas, including biology, chemistry, and engineering. The infrastructure will enhance collaboration, reduce data management complexities, and provide students with hands-on experience in AI and HPC. The project is expected to be completed by October 31, 2026 and will connect SLU to the National Open Science Grid, allocating 20% of the system's resources for off-campus research. This grant reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific discovery and technological innovation with potential for significant research and educational impact.
