May 2026

A multidisciplinary team of Cleveland State University faculty will again offer an Introduction to Quantum Computing microcredential, delivered online and on-demand through the Division of Continuing and Extended Education. The course will teach you to distinguish bits from qubits, master single- and two-qubit gate operations to construct basic circuits and analyze state transformations through superposition and entanglement. You will explore quantum algorithms, Deutsch and Grover, and assess their advantages over classical counterparts.

Cleveland State University staff and full-time faculty may register by May 22 at noon using the professional development benefit.

Office of Research Grant Writing Workshops

The Office of Research hosted two workshops in early 2026: one for the Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award that is managed by the NSF, and one to learn more about the R15 award from the NIH. The CAREER Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the NSF's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education. R15 grants support small-scale research projects that engage students, and it is expected that students will be actively engaged in the research.
