NExT AI Hubs include a single Research Project and a Leadership Core that support the goals and aims of the Hub. This NOFO seeks to serve as a catalyst to 1) speed the maturation of nascent/novel, high-impact, high-risk research that advances understanding of the role AI technology plays in supporting, improving, or limiting the learning, cognitive, and socio-emotional needs of children at risk for or diagnosed with SLDs, 2) build an evidence base for the SLD community to inform policy or practice, and 3) provide project-embedded, career-enhancing research and professional development opportunities to support the next generation of transdisciplinary SLD scientists.
This initiative provides opportunities to support planning and building a body of research and corresponding intellectual infrastructure to enable NExT AI investigators to compete for large research and program project opportunities in the future.This NOFO aims to integrate research topics that are of relevance to various research programs at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and align with the NICHD Strategic Plan. The NOFO intends to build cross-programmatic, transdisciplinary and cross-cutting scientific research, and critically nurture the development of early career investigators capable of conducting this research.
NExT AI Hubs will carry out research on understudied, highly innovative, and high-risk topics related to AI technology's impact on learning, cognitive, and socio-emotional needs of children at risk for or diagnosed with SLDs. Each Hub includes a single Research Project and a Leadership Core. The initiative aims to speed maturation of nascent research, build an evidence base for the SLD community, and provide career-enhancing opportunities for transdisciplinary SLD scientists.
