The National Science Foundation awarded Kent State University $299,996 on August 1, 2026, under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to scope and plan a sustainable open-source ecosystem for the architecture, engineering, and construction sector. The project, titled OpenConstruction, addresses fragmentation of digital assets across the AEC community—including field imagery, design documentation, and engineering workflows—that currently reside in proprietary platforms with inconsistent metadata. The award funds Phase I planning activities to assess stakeholder needs, participation patterns, and contribution incentives for transitioning OpenConstruction into a community-driven open-source ecosystem for organizing and sharing datasets, models, workflows, and educational resources in the AEC domain. The scoping work supports broader digital transformation in infrastructure and construction, workforce development, and translation of research knowledge into practice, with the goal of improving access to reliable engineering knowledge and strengthening the nation's capacity to maintain and improve critical infrastructure. The assistance type is a Project Grant. Performance takes place in Kent, Ohio, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027.
