Themes “…the aim is to make data science technology and expertise far more accessible both within universities and beyond.”
“In 2020, every college student should be prepared to understand and develop points of view based on the analysis of data as well as evaluate arguments made by others”

What we ARE doing: • Funding data science environments that welcome biologists
• Supporting investigators in biology and life sciences who demonstrate the skills needed
• Funding projects that enable and promote training the biology workforce
• Getting involved in discussions about training data scientists
What we ARE NOT doing: • Directly funding Biology-focused projects/tools
• Directly funding formal data science education
