The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded George Mason University $250,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop a domain-driven cybertraining program building dual expertise in quantum computing and healthcare applications. The project delivers three integrated training thrusts through openly shared modules, software tools, datasets, tutorials, and curriculum materials. The first thrust creates modules connecting healthcare problem formulation with quantum concepts and algorithms, including quantum-compatible data representations and applications in molecular modeling and diagnostic analysis. The second develops modules on quantum software productivity, portability, and reproducibility, covering cross-platform program translation, auditable workflow construction, and uncertainty-aware evaluation of noise, drift, and hardware variability. The third thrust creates application-driven modules for real-world healthcare and biomedical implementations. The training framework addresses the national need for a quantum computing workforce equipped with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for applying quantum technologies to healthcare and biomedical research domains including drug discovery, biomedical imaging, and clinical decision support. Performance occurs in Fairfax, Virginia from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2030. The George Mason University Instructional Foundation, Inc., operates as a subsidiary partner entity supporting the initiative. The award is a Project Grant classified as collaborative research.
