Grant Opportunities: Grant Opportunities: Artificial Intelligence and Informatics Consortium (AI2): Indiana University Indianapolis PILOT RESEARCH GRANTS, REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS The Artificial Intelligence & Informatics Consortium at IU Indianapolis is seeking applications for funding to support research ideas from current IU Indianapolis faculty.
These pilot grants can be focused on an array of AI and/or informatics-related disciplines in which the investigators have demonstrated expertise, including clinical research, public health, education, law, business, chemistry, earth science and biology. Studies that address significant discipline challenges that can be supplemented with AI and/or informatics-related methods or solutions will be prioritized.
The pilot funding will provide opportunities for faculty to gather preliminary data, prove a concept, or implement on a small-scale an approach or solution that can be translated into a larger research project funded by an extramural grant. The consortium expects pilot grants will catalyze new funding applications to the NIH, NSF, and/or other extramural funding agencies.
Collaboration between investigators from different schools or departments is not a requirement, but it is strongly encouraged and considered as criteria for the review. The AI2 Consortium at IU Indianapolis will fund up to three (3) projects at a funding level of up to $15,000 for 9-months. We expect recipients to attend a joint meeting on a quarterly basis (every 3 months).
The purpose of these meetings will be to create shared learning across the projects, as well as an opportunity to learn more about how to translate the pilot work into a larger, extramural proposal. In addition, we expect funded investigators to work with the AI2 Consortium director and IU Research team to further develop and submit the extramural proposal by the start of 2027.
Request for Applications release date: February 25, 2026 Proposal Due Date: March 25, 2026 ***EXTENDED TO APRIL 1st!

Award funding amount: up to $15,000 Award period: 9 months, beginning once approval is No-cost extensions are allowed; all research expenses should be incurred by the end of the 9-month period.
Awardees must provide documentation of all necessary regulatory approvals (e.g., IRB approval) post-award. Supplies and other costs must relate directly to performance of the Funds cannot be used for course releases, development of teaching materials, or academic programs. The process involves submitting an application.

Proposed Pilot Project Overview (1-page limit) The Project Overview should include the following: Project Information: Please include the project title, the name(s) of the PI and if applicable co- PIs and other key Include full names (first name/middle name/last name), degrees, rank, university/school/academic department, emails, and role in the project.
If the proposal includes investigators from different schools or departments, how will a multidisciplinary team strengthen the project? Scientific Abstract (250-word limit): Briefly summarize the proposed B. Research Plan (3-page limit, including tables and figures) This section should include the following elements to best allow reviewers to address the review criteria: Aims – What are the goals of the research?
Significance – Why is this research important? Innovation – What makes this research innovative? Approach – What will be done during the pilot period?
C. References (No page limit). Literature cited does not count toward the Research Plan's 3-page D.
Budget with Budget Justification (No page limit). Use PHS 398 Form Page 4 and Page 5 . The budget justification should include sufficient details for reviewers to assess whether appropriate resources have been requested.
E. List of Current Grants/Research (No page limit). For each PI, please list information on current extramural funding in which they are involved.
Provide the grant title, funding agency, name(s) of the PI(s), dates of the project, and a 1-2 sentence summary of the research project. The review criteria will include an assessment of the proposed pilot project to have scientific merit, innovation, and likelihood it may lead to extramural funding.
This program will have preference for projects that are novel as opposed to incremental efforts from already established and funded research. Also, preference will be given to researchers who are incorporating AI and/or informatics questions into their research for the first time. When applying, please note how the application fulfills the goals of this program.
Specifically, the applicant should address the following issues, where applicable: How does the project advance science or a discipline challenge? How is the project innovative? Does the research extend or support an existing research center or institute on campus?
To what extent does the proposed pilot project reflect interdisciplinary, cross-department/school collaboration on the IU Indianapolis campus? If you have any questions, please reach out to Susan Walsh ( walshsus@iu. edu ) or contact through the AI2 consortium website.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity.
