The University of Alabama received a $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), effective October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for June 30, 2028. This is a renewal Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site award that provides professional development and research training to 27 middle and high school educators through a six-week summer research program focused on biologically-inspired computing systems. The program delivers cutting-edge research projects, standards-aligned curriculum development activities, and pedagogical training spanning data imaging, artificial intelligence algorithms, and microelectronics hardware applications. The award generates three primary technical deliverables: novel imagery collection techniques and image processing algorithms for cancer detection applications; new artificial intelligence algorithms for classifying and visualizing medical imagery data; and memristor device-based biologically-inspired system designs for enhanced computational efficiency. Additionally, the site provides a "Teachers Mentoring Teachers" component in which prior RET participants serve as mentors and teacher leaders, along with extensive follow-up academic year support through on-site visits, workshops, and professional learning communities. The program leverages established partnerships with local school districts, research facilities, and artificial intelligence industry leaders in Alabama to ensure successful translation of research experiences into classroom implementation.Federal Grant Award Summary
