You are invited to apply for an opportunity to work closely with data science professionals and students to make better use of your data. The University of Washington Data Science for Social Good summer program at the eScience Institute brings together data scientists and domain researchers to work on focused, collaborative projects for societal benefit. 

The program supports compelling, timely, publicly-relevant projects that are poised to take advantage of tremendous student and professional technical talent and computation resources. If you have an idea for a project that could benefit from access to a team of motivated students, exposure to new data-intensive methods, and guidance in best practices for software development, reproducible science, and human-centered design, then we would love to hear from you. 

Authors of accepted proposals will become Project Leads in the UW DSSG program, and will work on a team comprised of a Data Scientist from the eScience Institute, and four students who will be selected and paid by the eScience Institute. This year, while we plan to have student fellows work primarily on campus, Project Leads may be able to participate remotely for most or all of the program if desired.

The 2023 DSSG summer program takes place from June 12 - August 18. The Call for Project Proposals is open now through February 17. The Call for Student Applications is open now through February 13. 

If you would like to discuss your idea before submitting a proposal, please reach out to Program Director Anissa Tanweer.
