Data Science Institute
Pushing research boundaries through advanced computational analysis
The Data Science Institute (formerly Data7) aims to foster the next generation of data-driven research by encouraging university-wide interdisciplinary collaboration, gaining external visibility, developing industry alliances, and increasing funding for UArizona research.
By connecting UArizona researchers and aligning institutional expertise, computational resources, and infrastructure, the Data Science Institute enables investigators to ask more complex questions and achieve outcomes not easily attainable as individual investigators or within purely disciplinary teams.
Collaborate on Research
The Data Science Institute provides initial support to University of Arizona research projects by funding part-time graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, technical staff, and computational infrastructure – all working to start new collaborations or broaden existing collaborations. Preference will be given to projects that have received favorable ranking but have not received funding.
Engage with the DS Community
The Data Science Institute offers a multitude of ways to be involved with the data science community at large. Opportunities include several formal training programs, numerous campus events, informal networking and/or being a student researcher gaining real-world experience on one of our many research projects.
Use CyVerse at UArizona
UArizona students, faculty, and staff have free access to CyVerse, the world-class computational platform for open science thanks to the Technology and Research Initiative Fund (TRIF) with the State of Arizona. As part of the Data Science Institute's goals, CyVerse helps support research, fosters collaboration, promotes data science training, and helps to solve data-driven challenges.
