AI Culture Grant 

The All in Alabama initiative targets current and former undergraduates of Alabama’s public postsecondary institutions to raise the awareness of in-state job opportunities and support the showcasing of their talents to prospective employers. Hence, the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE) invites grant proposals from Alabama’s public postsecondary institutions (public universities and community/technical colleges) to develop a plan that fosters an artificial intelligence (AI) culture among their students and faculty in support of the All in Alabama initiative. The AI Culture Grant proposal should support learning opportunities of AI applications to be implemented in programs by way of coursework, internship, and/or work-based/experiential learning opportunities. The proposal may come from academic programs who are new to implementing AI learning opportunities into their programs, as well as academic programs that traditionally utilize AI but must stay ahead of the ever-changing AI technology.

Institutions may submit up to two (2) proposals that have diverse objectives in response to this grant opportunity. However, funding will be prioritized to include as many institutions as possible. The due date for the proposal is Friday, April 26, 2024. A webinar on this grant opportunity Tuesday, March 26, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. during which interested institutions may ask questions.
