- Investigator Kathleen Creel
In early 2025, the Foundation partnered with UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) and the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to support 29 Metascience & AI fellowships for postdoctoral researchers interested in understanding the implications of AI for the science and research ecosystem. As part of the fellowship, the Foundation agreed to host a summer institute to facilitate knowledge sharing, relationship building, and skill development among fellowship recipients.This grant will support that Metascience & AI summer institute, stewarded by John Basl and Katie Creel at Northeastern University. It will also support a partially overlapping nine-week program during summer 2026 in AI and Date Ethics (AIDE). Both programs will be co-located with a mentoring workshop for early-career Computer Science faculty in Trustworthy AI research organized by the Computing Research Association and Microsoft Research. Grant funds will support travel, lodging, and meals for both Metascience & AI and AIDE participants, summer stipends for AIDE fellows, and staff and speaker compensation.
