The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the CISE Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, supports the development of enabling technologies for integrating distributed intelligence into the network edge to power next-generation smart applications such as smart energy systems and smart agriculture. The project will focus on techniques for the life cycle of distributed intelligence, including data curation, decentralized learning/fine-tuning, and distributed inferencing, optimized for resource-constrained edge environments. The project also includes a $65,025 sub-award to The Pennsylvania State University to support co-management of the project, application requirement evaluation, and development of a future CISE Large proposal. The University of Kentucky Research Foundation and Penn State team will collaborate on planning activities, including two in-person workshops, to engage stakeholders and perform preliminary studies on candidate technologies.
