Project Grant 2515201

This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) on April 15, 2025. The grant will fund a collaborative effort led by Northern Kentucky University, in partnership with the Computing Research Association, Texas State University, and Kennesaw State University, to engage faculty at research-emerging institutions with large computing programs.

The primary goals of the project are to: 1) Facilitate increased instructional capacity and develop a sustainable community of practice among faculty implementing AI courses or modules into undergraduate curricula; 2) Establish best practices for AI education at these institutions; 3) Improve faculty confidence in using National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot resources for AI instruction; and 4) Develop strategies for integrating AI content into undergraduate courses, particularly where computational resources are limited. The project will involve virtual roundtable discussions and an in-person workshop, culminating in a publicly available report outlining the findings and recommendations.
