Expanding AI Voices Act

This bill would require the National Science Foundation to give competitive, merit-reviewed awards to certain colleges, universities, and nonprofit organizations to broaden participation in artificial intelligence research, education, and workforce development. Eligible schools include those outside the top 100 in federal research spending, historically Black colleges and universities, minority-serving institutions, and Tribal colleges. Award recipients would use funds for activities such as AI research programs, faculty recruitment, bridge programs for graduate study, access to computing resources, and workshops. The Foundation would conduct outreach to eligible applicants and must avoid duplicating existing award programs.
