Wednesday, July 30th 11:00 - 12:00 pm | Zoom

The MATHia Math and Metacognition Data Science Challenge launched on June 2 with 21 students working in seven interdisciplinary teams. Ranging from undergraduates to doctoral candidates, participants are building predictive models using data from the MATHia digital learning platform to analyze outcomes related to math knowledge, motivation, and metacognitive skills

On Wednesday, July 30, the seven teams will present their final predictive models to a panel of judges. During the presentations, students will share their modeling process, explain how their models function, and discuss potential applications for edtech platforms and educators. The presentations will be open to the public, please register below to receive the Zoom link. Final competition results will be announced on August 1st.

Focused Research Award: up to $150K to support collaborative research between Sony and academic partners on innovative, high-impact topics.

 

Faculty Innovation Award: up to $100K to support cutting-edge research in collaboration with Vanderbilt to drive innovation and future technology advancements.

 

PIs must be a full-time professor (adjunct professors and adjunct researchers are not eligible) or researcher and be eligible to supervise Ph.D. students at the PI's institution. The Submission deadline for both award opportunities is September 15, 2025.

The Scaling Success Program supports faculty as they scale up to more impactful team research and larger awards from federal, foundation, or industry sponsors. Applicants must have documented support or interest from an external sponsor to apply, with concrete plans and a commitment to apply to an external sponsor within 12 months of the initial award. 

The program reaches across all Provost-reporting schools, departments, and disciplines and offers $5,000 to $60,000 to be used within 12 months of award receipt, with larger amounts considered if the proposal warrants and the program budget allows.

 

The next review date is August 15, 2025. Future dates in 2025 are: September 19, October 17, and November 21.

The Center for the Dynamics of Social Complexity (DySoC) at the UT, Knoxville, invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral Fellowship beginning Fall 2025. The fellow will pursue an independent research project that connects AI with at least one of DySoC’s core themes: Cultural Evolution, Social Complexity of Science, or Computational Social Science.

The position welcomes early-career scholars whose work examines societal change and social complexity through these lenses. For the 2025–26 cycle, proposals focused on how AI—such as Large Language or Reasoning Models—is reshaping cultural, scientific, cognitive, or social evolution are encouraged. Example topics include AI’s impact on knowledge flow, cultural dynamics, scientific discovery, and human–AI interaction. The fellowship offers opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, grant-writing, and engagement with DySoC’s global research network.

 

Apply by September 01, 2025 for best consideration.
