The National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded North Carolina State University a $298,699 Project Grant (CFDA 47.070: Computer and Information Science and Engineering) effective January 1, 2026, through April 30, 2029, to develop InteractiveRF—a fully-adaptive, physics-aware radio frequency (RF)-enabled cyber-physical human systems (CPHS) research initiative. The project transforms fixed-transmission millimeter-wave RF sensors into intelligent, autonomous devices capable of detecting and responding to human and environmental dynamics. By leveraging low-cost, low-power RF transceivers, the research delivers high-resolution, non-contact measurements of distance, direction-of-arrival, and micro-Doppler signatures across diverse applications in transportation, healthcare, and human-computer interaction. Beyond core research deliverables, the grant supports integrated academic preparation and workforce development objectives, including curriculum development and instruction in RF sensing, machine learning, signal processing, and CPHS applications for undergraduate and graduate students. The award includes K-12 outreach activities and targeted recruitment efforts at historically Black colleges and universities to broaden participation in STEM education. These educational components aim to prepare a diverse, globally competitive engineering workforce with multidisciplinary expertise in converging technologies, positioning graduates for emerging opportunities in the expanding commercial radar sector.Federal Grant Award Summary
