This federal Project Grant award of $380,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the "Rural AI Solutions and Engagement (RAISE)" project. This collaborative research effort involves the University of Alaska Anchorage, Salisbury University, and Valdosta State University, which serve rural communities in Alaska, Maryland, and Georgia, respectively. The key objectives of the RAISE project are to: (A) build partnerships, (B) enhance research administration capabilities, (C) advance research development, and (D) strengthen research leadership. Utilizing these capacities, the three institutions will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to develop practical solutions in areas such as agriculture, energy, and education to address community and rural needs in their respective regions. Specific activities include creating an Alaska AI Solutions Consortium, launching a regional partnership incubator in South Georgia, and constructing a new partnership inventory and research specialization for the Delmarva Peninsula. The award period is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
