Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR): Data Science Corps (DSC)
Award Info:
Awards will typically be in the range of $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 for 3 years.
Description:
The objective of the Data Science Corps is to help build a strong, national data science infrastructure and workforce. By engaging data science students and professionals in real-world data science implementation projects, the Data Science Corps aims to help bridge the data-to-knowledge gap in organizations and communities at all levels—local, state, national, and international. These projects will empower better use of available data assets for more effective decision making. Data Science Corps participants will be able to sharpen their skills in data science by working on real-world projects requiring participation in a community of interest, e.g., rural community, urban community, academia, industry, or government. These efforts may also include providing hands-on training to community members to impart best practices in data science, e.g., for data collection, data management, data analysis, and data-driven decision making.
