- This federal Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports a collaborative effort led by Northern Kentucky University, the Computing Research Association, Texas State University, and Kennesaw State University. The goal is to engage faculty at research-emerging institutions with large computing programs in a series of virtual roundtables and an in-person workshop. This initiative aims to:...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $360,000 to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to develop a research-practice partnership to support computer science (CS) education in underserved high schools across New Mexico. The project aims to understand how to prepare teachers to deliver a culturally responsive, rigorous CS curriculum that meets the needs of Hispanic/Latino...
The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded New Mexico State University $600,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to support technical and professional development in artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The award funds a scalable program delivering hands-on training to 600 students and faculty from Hispanic-serving and other institutions attending the Computing Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions (CAHSI) Technical and Professional Development Summit, co-located with the 38th Annual Great Minds in Stem Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The curriculum consists of scaffolded learning activities progressing from introductory generative AI sessions emphasizing responsible technology and ethical considerations through intermediate machine learning and supercomputing foundations workshops, then to applied specialization in quantum security using open-source cryptographic frameworks, culminating in a capture-the-flag cybersecurity hackathon. The initiative targets a national workforce shortage in AI and quantum computing by building hands-on technical capacity, preparing faculty to integrate these topics into curricula and mentoring, and establishing sustainable pathways from undergraduate education to advanced study and high-tech employment. Participating institutions will serve as regional hubs for an AI and quantum-computing-ready workforce. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
