Northeastern Illinois University received a $157,403 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems on September 1, 2021 to support the Metropolitan Chicago Data Science Corps (MCDC) project through August 31, 2024. The grant is funded through the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070), which aims to advance computing and data science research and education.
Under this award, Northeastern Illinois University will lead the MCDC project to apply data science techniques and collaborate with community partners in the Chicago area. The goal is to use data analysis to help address local issues and support communities. The university will likely coordinate data science students and faculty to work with organizations on projects that leverage available data to solve problems and develop insights. The three-year timeframe and funding amount suggest this collaborative effort will involve multiple partnerships over its duration.
