- The National Science Foundation awarded the Regents of the University of Minnesota $999,991 on October 1, 2025, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and deliver a training program that builds generative AI research capacities for early- and mid-career STEM education researchers, particularly those at resource-limited institutions. The project creates a year-long institute delivering curriculum and learning experiences designed to train 50 participants across two cohorts of...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Carleton College $141,965 on September 1, 2026, to support the Navigating Artificial Intelligence in Geoscience Education conference, a three-day virtual event that brings undergraduate geoscience educators together to share experiences, identify promising practices, and develop community resources for teaching in an AI-impacted world. The conference will engage over 340 educators through intensive small-group working sessions, plenary talks by national experts, and virtual poster sessions, directly supporting approximately 10,000 undergraduate students taught annually by participating faculty. Resources from the conference will be captured and made publicly available online through the Science Education Resource Center website and other channels, extending reach to the majority of U.S. geoscience faculty and educators in other STEM disciplines navigating similar pedagogical challenges with artificial intelligence. No subawards are planned. The award runs through August 31, 2027, with place of performance in Northfield, Minnesota.
