Federal Grant Award Summary Purdue University received a $499,463 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Graduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) on August 1, 2026, with completion targeted for July 31, 2029. The award funds the development and implementation of an experiential learning framework for multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) security education. The project will create an interactive learning platform through which students can build representative AI systems, visualize how cybersecurity attacks and defenses affect system behavior, and practice redesigning systems to improve security posture. The framework addresses the critical national need to prepare future AI and cybersecurity professionals to understand end-to-end AI pipeline vulnerabilities, particularly how problems introduced in one component of complex multimodal systems—which integrate text, images, audio, video, and sensor data—can propagate across subsequent stages. The project will produce broadly adoptable, reusable learning resources grounded in constructivist experiential learning principles, including instructional activities and implementation guidance designed for adoption across educational settings. Deliverables are intended to strengthen domestic workforce capacity in emerging AI security specializations, support secure and trustworthy AI system development, and contribute to the Nation's cybersecurity resilience in government, critical infrastructure, and industry applications. The work will be performed at Purdue University's West Lafayette, Indiana campus.
