Tennessee Health Research and Innovation using Verified AI Ecosystems (TN-THRIVE) is a collaboration between Tennessee Technological University, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Meharry Medical College, and Vanderbilt University to address health challenges via Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) infused workshops and training. Currently, Tennessee ranks 44th among the 50 states in terms of national health outcomes. This project will advance the use of modern, AI/ML-enabled computer technology in medical research and healthcare delivery. At the heart of the project is a three-part workshop series, powered by National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot resources, aimed at accelerating interdisciplinary research at the intersection of advanced cyberinfrastructure, AI/ML, and health outcomes. These workshops train participants in high-performance computing, cloud-based AI applications, and open data tools, while fostering sustained collaboration among medical professionals, engineers, scientists, and students who participate. Workshop course content and outcomes will be shared with the NSF NAIRR program and made broadly available to the public.
