Interview data science...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), provides $1,999,999.00 to the University of Utah to expand talent in data science careers for graduate students in Utah. Over a six-year period, the project aims to fund two-year scholarships for 31 full-time graduate students pursuing degrees in NSF-supported STEM fields, including cognitive/neuroscience, geography, sociology, anthropology, economics, human developmental sciences, and statistics.
The key goals of the project are to: 1) prepare students with hands-on skills in data science, statistics, visualization, and data management; 2) use an asset-based approach to support the holistic success of low-income graduate students, including targeted outreach and support for student veterans; and 3) provide graduate students with career placement guidance, internships, and job preparation. The project intends to generate new knowledge about the academic, social, and institutional factors that promote the success of diverse, low-income graduate students in data science programs, as well as workforce development for data science career placement.
