Black girls are rarely seen as creators in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Instead, they face double jeopardy due to their intersecting identities (such as race and gender) resulting in the experiences of racism, sexism and other oppressions simultaneously which are often unaddressed.
Current approaches to AI education do not consider how curricula and integrated technologies, and facilitator professional development, work in tandem to support learners likely limiting the effectiveness of any individual component.
The Large Research Grants on Education Program supports education research projects that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived, with budgets ranging from $125,000 to $500,000 for projects ranging from one to five years. We anticipate awarding grants with budgets across each of the following funding tiers -- $125,000 to 250,000; $250,001 to $375,000; and $375,001 to $500,000.
