An efficient, secure and resilient energy infrastructure is the critical driving force for our nation's economy, health and industry sectors and the welfare of our people.
The fast-paced transformation and complexity of science and engineering discoveries and future technological innovations provide an extraordinary opportunity for future STEM graduates to address grand challenges that require a convergence of complex ideas and an interdisciplinary assimilation of cutting-edge research and education in the national priority areas of energy, artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity.
The National Science Foundation Research Traineeship award to the Tennessee Tech University will address existing knowledge gaps plaguing the majority of engineers and scientists specializing in divergent areas of energy technologies, AI and cybersecurity, through a rigorous and immersive traineeship that will involve cutting-edge interdisciplinary research projects, classroom training followed by group discussions and hands-on experience in real world projects using physical infrastructure, professional development initiatives and workshops and certification programs.
The traineeship anticipates providing a comprehensive training opportunity for around one hundred and fifty (150) students, including twenty-four (24) funded trainees at the doctoral and master's levels by engaging faculty and students from departments of electrical and computer engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering and education.
This National Science Foundation Research traineeship will bridge knowledge gaps existing in the national priority areas of energy, AI and cybersecurity by addressing the fundamental questions: a) Can engineers and scientists trained in cybersecurity and AI, yet lacking practical experience in physical energy infrastructure, effectively tackle energy security challenges?
b) Are engineers and scientists specializing in energy generation, energy storage, and power transmission ideally positioned to identify and mitigate emerging security risks?
The traineeship will equip and increase the number of qualified graduate students through an immersive and interconnected comprehensive training, based on new interdisciplinary courses and educational efforts, cutting-edge collaborative and interdisciplinary research, and through development of interpersonal and professional skills in the intersection theme of energy, AI and cybersecurity.
Educational efforts will concentrate on jointly developing new, interdisciplinary courses to accommodate the research needs of the trainees. The courses will involve lectures and immersion through group discussions, an industry lecture series, project pitches, and hands-on class projects. These courses will also improve communication and teamwork skills through discussions and presentations.
Research efforts will generate new knowledge that will be integrated into educational offerings for new cohorts of trainees. The interdisciplinary nature of research projects involving multiple students and faculty in the convergence theme will improve fundamental scientific understanding, critical thinking, teamwork and collaboration, and communication skills.
Professional development trainings related to module development, career coaching, resume building, interview preparation, technology innovation and opportunities will improve skills and competencies.
The traineeship will promote an inclusive research and education program that supports a sustainable pipeline of diverse graduate students with high technical competency and transferrable professional skills to meet regional and national workforce needs in three very important areas of national priority.
The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training.
The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas through comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Students interested in participating in the NRT fellowship may apply before applying to graduate school at Tennessee Tech. To be eligible, students must enroll as an M. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

TCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
