The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $466,338 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Chicago to establish an 8-week Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on advancing the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques across the physical and biological sciences. The AI+Science Summer Lab REU site will expose 10 students per year to cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI and domains such as materials science, earth science, biology, and astrophysics. The program aims to provide critical AI/ML foundations and interdisciplinary skills to train the next generation of AI-enabled scientists. Key activities include research projects, weekly educational sessions, and building a cohort environment to foster collaboration and long-term relationships. This grant award reflects NSF's mission to support transformative research and education, leveraging the University of Chicago's expertise in AI and diverse scientific disciplines.
