The University of Florida received a $149,437 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems on October 1, 2021 to support a pilot study through September 30, 2022. The study will utilize remote sensing and predictive modeling techniques to facilitate addressing social and health issues related to environmental noise levels around schools and hospitals. This award is part of the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program will support research to develop new computational tools that can automatically evaluate audio quality in line with human perception. The Ohio State University will receive $300,000 over 3 years starting September 1, 2025 to create artificial intelligence models that learn to assess audio quality the way humans do, using novel machine learning...

This $821,902 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports the development of a powerful AI model (POWSM) that can transcribe pronunciation using a universal system to represent sounds. The project, led by Carnegie Mellon University, aims to innovate speech recognition for low-resource language varieties by leveraging the predictable patterns in how pronunciations vary across different...

This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), aims to develop algorithms and tools that enable reliable system forecasting for safety-critical engineered systems, even in environments with limited data. The $250,000 award, spanning Jan 2026 to Dec 2028, will fund the University of Connecticut to create the "Modular Analytics for Prognostics with Small Data" platform, which...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) award of $249,272 to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) supports the development of machine learning techniques to generate realistic, synthetic earthquake ground motion simulations. The goal is to enable geologists to efficiently study large, infrequent earthquakes and assess their hazards to California and Nevada. The project will create publicly available software and educational resources to train future scientists...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $1,049,997 Cooperative Agreement under the Weather and Air Quality Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.459) to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville to integrate the DeepCTM machine learning model with NOAA's National Air Quality Forecast Capability (NAQFC). The primary outcome of this 3-year project, expected to be completed by July 2028, is the development of the UFS-DeepCTM system. This will enable faster and more...

This federal Project Grant award of $237,141.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research to develop adaptive artificial intelligence systems that can determine which non-speech sounds, such as environmental sounds and audio cues, are important for understanding video content and present them in accessible formats for viewers, including deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and older adults. The...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $650,000 over a 3-year period to the University of Southern California to develop an AI model that can better understand fault dynamics and earthquake hazards in heavily faulted geologic basins. The project builds a multiphysics fault network model to discover reduced-order governing equations for the evolution of stress in complex fault systems, using the Southern Permian Basin in the...

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $311,029 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program to Creare LLC, a small business based in Hanover, New Hampshire. The funding will support the design, development, and testing of a multi-function earplug that can provide hearing protection, record personal noise dose, and monitor hearing function over time. This integrated in-ear hearing monitoring...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $441,467 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) to develop a new artificial intelligence (AI) framework for analyzing hyperspectral data to map ore deposits. This 3-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2025, aims to improve the effectiveness of hyperspectral mineral mapping to accelerate the identification of critical mineral resources, enhance the nation's economic...
