- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the University of North Dakota $717,046 on December 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct collaborative research examining career entry into biomedical faculty roles. The research will generate knowledge about career pathways to tenure-track faculty positions in biomedical sciences by examining how scientists navigate the faculty job market and how faculty hiring decisions are made. The...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded North Carolina State University $1,594,160 on August 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to advance data-driven technologies and artificial intelligence integration for problem-solving in STEM learning environments. The project develops a framework for personalized instruction across three foundational STEM domains—logic, probability, and programming—using data-driven and AI-supported technologies....
- This $996,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund scholarships of up to $15,000 per year for up to five years for twelve high-achieving, low-income students pursuing bachelor's degrees in artificial intelligence, computer science, cyber operations, or mathematics at Dakota State University (DSU). The project aims to increase STEM degree completion among this target population and help address the national need...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education awarded Texas Tech University $249,848 on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and deliver an artificial intelligence agent-centered cybersecurity education framework. The project will create curriculum modules, hands-on laboratory exercises, and project-based learning activities organized around four core areas: foundations of AI agents, core cybersecurity principles, AI agents for security...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education awarded North Carolina State University $250,000 on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program to develop AgentSec, a scenario-based educational platform for teaching undergraduate students to secure autonomous artificial intelligence systems. The platform enables students to safely investigate, attack, and defend AI agents in controlled environments through three progressive modules addressing data ingestion, tool-action,...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education awarded $441,645 to the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop AI-enhanced cybersecurity education and expand workforce capacity in that field. The recipient will develop six open-access, AI-enhanced modules integrated into an existing cyber data analytics certificate, covering adversarial machine learning, AI-driven threat detection, and AI pipeline security,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education awarded the University of North Dakota $499,663 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop, implement, and study an integrative model for embedding artificial intelligence and cybersecurity education into high school career and technical education pathways. The project addresses a workforce pipeline gap by integrating AI and cybersecurity concepts into existing CTE programs in agriculture, health sciences, and manufacturing rather than as stand-alone computer science or information technology courses. This approach expands access to AI and cybersecurity education, particularly in rural areas such as North Dakota where many schools lack dedicated CS or IT teachers. Deliverables include a summer professional development program for CTE teachers, collaborative lesson design with the project team, co-designed instructional units that embed AI and cybersecurity into CTE contexts, and a mixed-methods research study examining how non-computing-specialist teachers can effectively teach this content and how workforce-aligned student credentials can be developed and validated for non-CS and non-IT pathways. The study will employ repeated-measures teacher surveys, semi-structured interviews, and pre- and post-assessments to evaluate outcomes. Performance occurs at the University of North Dakota's Grand Forks, North Dakota campus from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
