The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded The University of Chicago $117,999 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to establish technical foundations for trustworthy agentic science in materials research. The project, titled "AGENTIC FAIR: Context, Skills, and Benchmarks for Trustworthy, Reproducible Materials Research," addresses fragmentation in AI-enabled materials workflows by developing three coupled elements: machine-actionable context specifications that capture entities, provenance, life-cycle stages, governance constraints, and repository expectations needed for reliable automated action on materials data and models; a curated library of reusable agentic skills as bounded, testable modules for recurring FAIR and research-data-management operations including metadata extraction, schema crosswalk, provenance capture, FAIR packaging, and quality assessment; and benchmark suites and scoring protocols that evaluate whether agentic systems can perform realistic materials-research tasks with consistency, reproducibility, and scientific fidelity. Performance extends from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029, at The University of Chicago's Chicago, Illinois campus. The award is structured as a project grant under NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program.
