Description
The
National Science Foundation's (NSF's) Directorates for Computer &
Information Science & Engineering (CISE) and Mathematical & Physical
Sciences (MPS) recently launched the Transdisciplinary Research in Principles
of Data Science (TRIPODS) Phase I program with the goal of promoting long-term,
interdisciplinary research and training activities that engage theoretical
computer scientists, statisticians, and mathematicians in developing the
theoretical foundations of data science. Twelve TRIPODS Phase I Institutes were
established in FY17 (see https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=242888).
The
Partnerships between Science and Engineering Fields and the NSF TRIPODS
Institutes (TRIPODS + X) solicitation seeks to expand the scope of the TRIPODS
program beyond the foundations community by engaging researchers across other
NSF disciplines and the TRIPODS research teams in collaborative activities.
TRIPODS + X projects will foster relationships between researchers in science
& engineering domains and foundational data scientists by leveraging
existing NSF investments in the TRIPODS organizations. Working in concert with
a TRIPODS organization, a TRIPODS + X project would focus on data-driven
research challenges motivated by applications in one or more science and
engineering domains or other activities aimed at building robust data science
communities.
