The National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education awarded Clemson University $225,428 on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop adoptable educational materials for AI auditing competency in undergraduate and graduate computing programs. Clemson will create a theory-guided education package consisting of six modular curriculum units covering AI auditing frameworks, model assessment, and continuous model auditing. The deliverables include hands-on labs using real-world datasets and auditing libraries, where students will practice evidence collection, risk assessment, mitigation implementation, and professional reporting. Clemson will also develop an AI audit competency framework aligned with federal guidance and standards, competency-based assessments including scenario-based tasks and rubrics, and will conduct a multi-site evaluation measuring student learning, instructor usability, adoption, and sustainability. The project will produce reusable curricular materials and validated assessment instruments. Performance occurs at Clemson, South Carolina, with a period of performance from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The assistance type is a Project Grant. The work addresses the national workforce gap in AI assurance and cybersecurity by enabling institutions to teach responsible AI practices without requiring full curriculum redesign.
