CSE DSI Research Support
The CSE DSI is able to provide seed funding for small projects at the initial stage of research that bring college faculty in data science and science and engineering together.
This funding is in the form of graduate student fellowships where the student is participating in the research and is mentored by at least two faculty from different departments. The initial results from these small projects are expected to form the basis for future larger research proposals.
The call for proposals is usually announced as part of our community-building exercises around a specific topic area chosen in response to interests expressed by our affiliated faculty. The announcement will be circulated to all CSE DSI affiliates.
The table below shows the range of projects supported to date.
