NSF invests $11M to expand AI professional development for K-12 teachers nationwide | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation NSF invests $11M to expand AI professional development for K-12 teachers nationwide The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced an $11 million award to the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) in furtherance of the executive order on "Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth."
The award will launch Artificial Intelligence Professional Development (PD) Weeks: CS Foundations for Creating with AI , a multistate initiative that will prepare thousands of K-12 educators to teach foundational computer science (CS) and AI at scale, strengthening educator capacity and expanding high-quality AI learning opportunities nationwide.
"Artificial Intelligence is transforming every sector of our economy, and American students must be prepared not just to use AI, but to understand it and create with it," said Brian Stone, performing the duties of the NSF director.
"This investment will equip thousands of educators with the tools needed to bring AI and computer science into the classroom, turning the Executive Order into action and preparing the next generation to become innovators, builders and leaders. We are thinking beyond AI towards what the White House calls the ' Future of Intelligence .'
" Over the next two years, AI PD Weeks will operate in Indiana, South Carolina, Minnesota, New Jersey, Iowa, Illinois and at least three additional states. The project will directly support approximately 2,500–3,000 teachers. Based on conservative estimates of 200 students per teacher, this investment is expected to expand enhanced AI and CS learning opportunities to 500,000-600,000 students.
The model combines intensive, strand-based summer professional development with sustained community support through established state and local networks. This structure creates a scalable infrastructure for rapidly expanding AI teaching capacity while maintaining instructional quality.
Through participation in AI PD Weeks and ongoing support, teachers will: Deepen knowledge of core CS concepts, such as data, algorithms, abstraction and systems, and understand how they underpin AI tools and systems. Increase confidence in designing age-appropriate lessons and projects in which students use, build and critique AI systems.
Expand classroom integration of AI-related content across CS courses and, where appropriate, other subject areas. The project includes a robust research component to examine how teachers integrate AI concepts, tools, and ethical considerations into instruction when supported by intensive professional learning and sustained community. "AI is arriving in classrooms faster than AI literacy — and that gap is growing.
Computer science provides the foundation students need to truly understand AI, and CS teachers are uniquely positioned to close that gap," said Jake Baskin, CSTA executive director. "Through AI PD Weeks, CSTA equips educators with the knowledge and instructional strategies to move students beyond passive AI use toward deeper understanding, critical thinking, and meaningful creation."
By investing in educator preparation and classroom-ready AI instruction, NSF is strengthening America's ability to innovate and compete in a rapidly evolving technology landscape. This initiative expands the domestic talent pipeline and builds instructional expertise nationwide, ensuring students gain practical skills and foundational knowledge that will serve them across industries and careers.

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. For Phase II, only selected applicants will be invited to submit Full Proposals, and only those Invited Full Proposals will be considered for funding. Invited Full Proposals will be due March 20, 2024. Funding Opportunity Number: NLG-LIBRARIES-FY24. Assistance Listing: 45.312. Funding Instrument: G. Category: AR,HU. Award Amount: $50K – $1M per award.
