The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Howard University $700,000 on October 1, 2026, for a project grant supporting research in neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence for human-AI teaming. The project develops a trustworthy hybrid AI framework integrating neural networks with symbolic AI to create explainable, dependable intelligent systems. Research activities include novel hybrid neuro-symbolic methods for scene understanding in unstructured environments and neuro-symbolic reinforcement learning algorithms that integrate perception, learning, reasoning, and decision-making to enable adaptive human-AI collaboration. The resulting systems will provide transparent, verifiable decisions while continuously learning from experience. The framework will be validated using existing and planned AI research infrastructure and representative mission-critical application scenarios in national security, disaster response, autonomous systems, and defense. The project will also expand research and educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to develop AI workforce capacity. Howard University is the recipient. Performance occurs in Washington, DC 20059, with a period extending from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award is funded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which supports capacity-building for science and engineering and broadens participation in research and education. No sub-awards are planned.
