The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $789,218 Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) Program grant to the University of Chicago to create a data science credential for STEM doctoral students. The 5-year project (10/1/2024 - 9/30/2029) will enable STEM doctoral students to learn how to apply data science and artificial intelligence methods accurately and responsibly in their research across disciplines like astrophysics, geophysics, genetics, and neuroscience. Second- and third-year graduate students will complete a four-course curriculum, including a culminating course in their home department focused on applying data science and AI techniques. The project will also research the impact of the credential on shifting disciplinary perspectives, graduate career paths, and institutional processes needed to implement interdisciplinary credentials. No subawards are planned for this grant.
