This grant is a subaward of the National Science Foundation project, “21 st -Century Research-Cyberinfrastructure for MSIs through the MS-CC: A Phased Approach to Engage the Missing Millions. ” “This grant positions Bluford Library as a central hub for research support and innovation,” said Patterson. “We’re excited to develop models that other institutions can replicate.

“Through The AI Catalyst grant, we aim to empower librarians to guide their institutions in using AI responsibly, ethically and creatively — while prioritizing equity, digital literacy, and community involvement. This project highlights the important role libraries play in fostering innovation, building digital confidence, and preparing the next generation of scholars to succeed in an AI-driven world.
” The initiative aims to address skepticism around AI in higher education and promote ethical, informed use of emerging technologies. “Libraries are the academic epicenter of our institutions of higher learning and continue to evolve as the university teaching and research missions evolve,” said Bluford Dean of Library Services Vicki Coleman, MSIS.
“We are thrilled to see our faculty elevate librarianship to the next level through these research efforts and secure the funding to make it happen. I’m excited to see what happens next. ” Media Contact Information: jtorok@ncat.
