Artificial Intelligence Professional Development Weeks: CS Foundations for Creating with AI is an $11 million two-year NSF initiative awarded to the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) to launch a multistate professional development effort that helps K-12 educators teach foundational computer science and artificial intelligence concepts.
The program centers on age-appropriate AI curriculum design, integration of AI concepts and ethics into K-12 classrooms, and foundational computer science concepts including data, algorithms, abstraction, and systems. Participating states include Indiana, South Carolina, Minnesota, New Jersey, Iowa, and Illinois, plus at least three additional states.
Key program components include intensive summer professional development with a strand-based structure, sustained community support through state and local CSTA networks, and a research component examining how teachers integrate AI concepts and ethics into instruction. The initiative aligns with the executive order Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth.

NSF just committed $380 million to build a national network of AI-programmable, remotely operated laboratories — the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed (NSF 25-541), the agency's flagship contribution to the Genesis Mission. Twenty nodes, four years, self-driving experiments in chemistry, biology and materials. Here is what it funds, who is eligible, why the 'existing facilities only' rule matters, and how researchers and companies should position for what comes next.
Read articleNSF just put $83 million into six national-scale data systems through its Integrated Data Systems and Services program — the plumbing that makes AI-for-science actually work. Here is who won, how the three-category structure (national-scale, transition, planning) really functions, why the Category III planning grant is the on-ramp most teams should be aiming at, and how to build readiness before the next fourth-Tuesday-in-July deadline.
Read articleNSF's Growing Convergence Research program (NSF 24-527) offers up to $1.2 million in a two-year Phase I and up to $2.4 million more in a three-year Phase II — $3.6 million across five years — with a $16 million pool funding just 6 to 10 projects and a February 8, 2027 deadline. But GCR is not a bigger version of an interdisciplinary grant. It funds a specific team architecture, and the proposals that lose are usually the ones that mistake multidisciplinary collaboration for convergence. Here is what NSF actually means by convergence, how the two-phase gate works, and how to build a team that survives the Phase I review.
