| PI | Department | College | Date | Sponsor | Award Amount | Description |
| Jennifer Stewart (PI) | Dyslexia Services | College of Education | 7/1/2025-12/15/2028 | The Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Inc. | $32,000 | The primary purpose of this research is to assess the efficacy of the AIM Pathways to Proficient Reading course in improving educator knowledge of literacy and instructional practices. A comprehensive database will be developed from existing data sources for the AIM Institute for Learning & Research that documents the development and impact of the professional development course. Ultimately, this database will be utilized to investigate the impact of the training on educator content knowledge and any perceived change to classroom pedagogical practice to student reading outcomes in participating states and districts. |
| Hanna Terletska (PI) | Physics and Astronomy | College of Basic & Applied Sciences | 7/1/2025-10/31/2027 | National Science Foundation | $286,822.00 | MTSU will be involved in two projects within this collaborative effort between several universities. The first project aims to develop interpretable descriptors to effectively capture the structural and functional properties of perovskites, such as atomic arrangements, environmental stability, and electronic or optical behaviors. An AI-powered chatbot will be developed utilizing natural language processing techniques to assist researchers. The second project proposes to develop an active learning-driven machine learning workflow to tackle the structural and compositional variability of HOIS (Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Structures) for their properties prediction. This project will advance the understanding of structure-property relationships and accelerate the discovery of HOIS optimized for energy, electronics, and sensor applications. |
