The National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education awarded Winston-Salem State University $496,376 on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop modular AI security curriculum for the public sector workforce. The project will embed AI security concepts into four self-contained teaching units integrated into existing healthcare management, education, and computer science courses. The units will cover how AI systems fail or face attack, how to evaluate AI tools before organizational adoption, how to respond when AI systems cause harm or trigger data breaches under HIPAA and FERPA, and what legal and ethical duties govern public-sector AI use. Each unit will be designed for delivery in person or online to accommodate working professionals. Practitioners from a local school district, regional hospital systems, and a county government agency will co-develop content with real-world case studies. Cisco Systems will validate the curriculum. All materials will be shared freely through faculty workshops and open online channels. The award runs through August 31, 2029, with performance at Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The project targets healthcare administrators, teachers, and public program managers—many of them Winston-Salem State University graduates—who increasingly manage AI technologies without adequate preparation to recognize system failures, manipulation, or data exposure.
