The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska $349,735 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to design and implement AI-enabled virtual assistants that support metacognitive learning in undergraduate biology and bioinformatics courses. The project will develop and experimentally compare multiple virtual assistant designs—including unmoderated access, example-based support, conceptual guidance, and Socratic prompting—embedded within course assignments to guide student reasoning, reflection, and problem-solving. The initiative will analyze quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate how different AI support designs influence metacognitive awareness, student engagement, learning behaviors, and academic outcomes across introductory biology and bioinformatics course contexts. The project will also develop instructor dashboards that synthesize student interaction data to inform real-time instructional decisions and expand instructor capacity to support students in data-rich and complex coursework. Work is performed in Lincoln, Nebraska, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
