CREST HBCU-RISE: Center for AI/ML Research and EducationWith support from the Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology HBCU Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (CREST HBCU-RISE), this project aims to increase Meharry Medical College’s (MMC) data science research capacity by creating a Center for AI/ML Research and Education and a PhD program in Data Science. This will significantly contribute to increasing the diversity of individuals with a doctoral degree in data science and AI/ML prepared for both industry and academics careers. The cutting-edge research conducted for their doctoral degrees will advance our knowledge in key areas important to the nation and society.This project has four objectives: (1) enhance research infrastructure by upgrading the MMC data center with high-performance computing and networking capabilities; (2) establish a new Doctorate degree program in Data Science at MMC; (3) recruit high caliber faculty and scientists with expertise in AI/ML and data science research; and (4) increase the number of students from underrepresented minorities and women who attain a Doctorate in data science. The project will enroll twelve students into the new PhD program in data science in two cohorts of six students each. The knowledge gained from this project will be disseminated broadly to a community of scientists and engineers. The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology HBCU Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (CREST HBCU-RISE) program supports the expansion of institutional research capacity as well as the successful training of doctoral students, especially those from groups underrepresented in STEM at HBCUs.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.

CREST HBCU-RISE：人工智能/机器学习研究和教育中心在科学技术卓越研究中心 HBCU 科学与工程研究基础设施 (CREST HBCU-RISE) 的支持下，该项目旨在增加梅哈里医学院 (MMC) 的数据通过创建人工智能/机器学习研究和教育中心以及数据科学博士项目来提高科学研究能力，这将极大地有助于增加为工业和人工智能做好准备的数据科学和人工智能/机器学习博士学位个人的多样性。他们为博士学位进行的前沿研究将提升我们在对国家和社会重要的关键领域的知识。该项目有四个目标：(1) 通过用高性能计算升级 MMC 数据中心来增强研究基础设施。 (2) 在 MMC 设立新的数据科学博士学位课程；(3) 招募具有人工智能/机器学习和数据科学研究专业知识的高素质教师和科学家；(4) 增加来自代表性不足的少数族裔和女性的学生数量；获得博士学位该项目将招收 12 名学生，分成两组，每组 6 名学生，从该项目中获得的知识将广泛传播给卓越研究中心的科学家和工程师群体。科学与技术 HBCU 科学与工程研究基础设施 (CREST HBCU-RISE) 计划支持扩大机构研究能力以及成功培养博士生，特别是那些来自 HBCU STEM 领域代表性不足的群体的博士生。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
