    $500 TRAIL Snacks

    TRAIL Snacks are micro-grants from the Institute for Advancing Applications of Artificial Intelligence (IAAAI) for one concrete, AI-related work in your teaching, learning or scholarship. 

    AI through a critical lens

    Faculty who are skeptical of AI are also encouraged to apply. Work that helps NAU faculty decide how, when and where AI should and should not be used is as welcome as work that puts AI to use. We invite proposals that examine AI critically: where it fails, where it does harm, and where it should not be used.  For example, test whether an AI tool’s feedback holds up against your own grading, or document where AI use undercut learning in a course. 

    A TRAIL SNACK FUNDS Conference attendance, AI subscriptions and equipment.

    A TRAIL SNACK DOES NOT FUND Stipends, summer salary, or any other personnel cost, including student wages.

    Your proposal describes four things: a concrete use case, the anticipated impact, your path forward, and a budget of $500 or less. The work must be completed and implemented within one calendar year of receiving the funds.
