This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $399,399 to Howard University to incorporate data science and analytics (DSA) into the honors curriculum and co-curricular experiences in the College of Arts and Sciences. The project aims to develop four curriculum modules covering topics like data science methodologies, data transformation, visualization, and machine learning. The goal is to prepare over 400 COAS honors students annually for applied research and STEM graduate school opportunities, ultimately developing a diverse DSA workforce. The project will also provide undergraduate research opportunities for historically underrepresented students to address community issues using DSA, and offer a DSA research study abroad experience in Ghana focused on health, gender equity, and environmental justice. Research findings will be disseminated to the broader community and policymakers.
