The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Tennessee State University $200,000 on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to establish a data science workforce initiative at the historically black university. Tennessee State University will develop a comprehensive data science educational and research ecosystem designed to prepare undergraduates for roles in the data economy. The initiative establishes a formal undergraduate data science concentration with theoretical and applied foundations, including senior capstone projects addressing industry-relevant problems. The program integrates three pillars: the undergraduate concentration emphasizing applied and theoretical rigor; a research-first culture that supports peer-reviewed publications and matriculation into thesis-based master's and Ph.D. programs in engineering and computational sciences; and an expanded collaborative network with regional industry partners including Google, Amazon, and Oracle, alongside interdisciplinary TSU partners in health sciences and agriculture. The curriculum infuses state-of-the-art data science components—distributed machine learning, explainable artificial intelligence, and data engineering—into core coursework. The project investigates novel pedagogical frameworks such as adaptive learning platforms and flipped classrooms to optimize student readiness for complex workforce roles. Place of performance is Nashville, Tennessee. The period of performance runs from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2028. The award is classified as a Project Grant, a standard assistance type under NSF's STEM Education program supporting HBCU capacity-building in science and technology undergraduate education and research.
