This two-year, $299,984 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to strengthen data science education and workforce development opportunities in Chicago. Loyola University of Chicago's Institute for Racial Justice will partner with Arrupe College and the Chicago Youth Learning Organization to design a data science pathway for underrepresented scholars.

Undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty will address research questions while mentoring the next cohort. The programming will immerse students in hands-on experiences and internships to create successful STEM learning methods. It also seeks to generate a pipeline of underrepresented students prepared for STEM careers. As a result, the partner organizations will strengthen existing informatics and computational science outreach in the region by utilizing well-trained mentors and researchers. The award reflects the NSF's goals of supporting merit-reviewed research and broader societal impacts through STEM education.
