Service Definition
This service provides specialized pre-award technical advisory sessions to College of Education faculty preparing grant proposals that integrate artificial intelligence technologies, custom models, or automated data workflows.
Consultants with deep expertise in secure AI software development help Principal Investigators (PIs) evaluate technical feasibility, estimate realistic tooling costs, assess data governance risks, and align their methodologies with officially sanctioned university AI infrastructure.
Business Value & Expected Outcomes
-
Increased Proposal Competitiveness: Provides rigorous technical and security justification for AI workflows in project narratives, reducing reviewer skepticism regarding feasibility.
-
Risk & Compliance Mitigation: Ensures research data plans comply with institutional data classification policies (e.g., student privacy, FERPA, sensitive human subjects data) before proposal submission.
-
Cost Realism: Clarifies actual operating expenses (API tokens, university cloud credits, compute clusters) to prevent post-award budget shortfalls.
-
Sustainable Technical Footprint: Prevents reliance on unsupported or unapproved third-party commercial tools by mapping requirements to vetted campus services.
