Funding for Optimal Comprehensive Universal Screeners (FOCUS) grants

Artificial Intelligence Technology in Career and Technical Education Pathways is sponsored by New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE). This grant aims to expand access to high-quality AI applications within Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in New Jersey. It supports districts in developing innovative, project-based learning experiences that integrate AI competencies, creating real-world industry-connected learning opportunities, building partnerships with business and industry leaders, and providing professional learning for CTE educators. Grantees are expected to provide three AI-integrated project-based learning modules for each approved CTE program of study, curriculum/teaching resources, and a professional development plan for CTE educators. A formal partnership with a local business is also required.

Simons Historically Black Colleges and Universities Faculty Fellowship is sponsored by Simons Foundation International (SFI) administered by the Simons Foundation (SF). This program will support junior tenure-track faculty in mathematics, physics, and ecology and evolutionary biology at up to five (5) HBCU institutions by buying out a minimum of 50% of their teaching responsibilities.
