Our Partners and Grant Funders

we work with schools, districts, universities, research centers, training centers and organizations, and more!

Our Research Partners

We have a strong reputation for focusing on and delivering excellent training that matches your needs.

Because our roots are in training, higher education, and research, we understand the importance of properly training on AI to drive adoption and impact. In fact, this is one of our areas of research with the National Science Foundation.

GRANT FUNDED

Inquire About Co-design and Co-development of AI Tools and Features

As part of the grants we’ve received from the National Science Foundation, we work directly with schools and districts to co-design and co-develop AI tools and features.

You can request additions and development of tools, and may have opportunities to pursue additional grants with us up to $250K.

All of Colleague AI’s features are refined through rigorous studies. We conduct co-design sessions with teachers and run pilots to ensure positive impact on learning. This partnership approach, including ongoing evaluation by educational researchers, ensures our technology truly benefits educators and students alike.

GRANT FUNDED

Funded Training Opportunities For ESCs, RSCs, LEAs, COEs

Part of our grant funding includes various initiatives to train educators, administrators, and district leaders on different aspects of AI in education, such as:

using AI in the classroom
developing AI policies
using AI for school administration
using AI for professional development planning & activities

We work with dozens of education service centers, regional service centers, local education agencies, county offices of education, and EPP programs to deliver training to educators, schools, and districts in the local area.

We are always looking for ESCs, RSCs, LEAs, and COEs who want to partner and participate in grant-funded training! Inquire using the form on this page.

Distinguished NSF SBIR II Grants

We’re honored to have won significant funding for research and development from the National Science Foundation, including PFTT, SBIR, DRK-12, and CORE grants.

Ongoing Research with AmplifyLearn & the University of Washington

Colleague AI grew out of research at the University of Washington’s AmplifyLearn center. It was developed in partnership with UW researchers under NSF-funded projects. This academic foundation means the platform is built on cutting-edge generative AI research and proven pedagogical methods.

We work closely with UW’s AmplifyGAIN Center, a research institute focused on generative AI for K-12 math and science. Insights from their surveys and studies directly inform Colleague AI’s design. For instance, their findings helped us create AI tools that empower teachers to compose high-quality lesson materials, assessments, and personalized student feedback.
