This Project Grant award of $140,554 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program supports the University of Kentucky Research Foundation's initiative to democratize artificial intelligence (AI) training and access statewide across Kentucky.
The project conducts five AI workshops across Kentucky's major geographic regions, training 500 new and emerging researchers in concepts such as large language models, machine learning, computer vision, and AI-powered data science. Participants gain practical experience with AI tools for model training, data analysis, and applying AI techniques across various domains. The training is designed to prepare researchers to leverage the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot cyberinfrastructure. After the workshops, the project provides continuous learning and community engagement through online resources, tutorials, and ongoing mentorship. This scalable, transferable training opportunity positions Kentucky as a model for other Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) jurisdictions to leverage strategic investments in AI education and infrastructure.
