SUMMARY:IDSC Grants Program Call for Proposals INFO SESSION Thursday 9/19 4PM via ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:An INFO SESSION for your questions on the IDSC “Expanding the Use of Collaborative Data Science at UM” Grants Program CALL FOR PROPOSALS will be held on Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, at 4:00 PM (:30 minutes) via ZOOM. \nPlease Register to receive the ZOOM link\nThis program is designed to increase the use of data science to foster breakthroughs in disciplinary pursuits making the research team more competitive for external funding. Applications are required to include at least one data scientist from the Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC) and one researcher from a specific discipline. Typically\, the disciplinary researcher initiates and leads the project. The IDSC data scientist acts as a high-level consultant to ensure the proposal has enough data science. \nThe awards include $20K in discretionary funds[1] and 1M Service Units (SUs) to be used for high performance computing (HPC). It is anticipated that five awards will be made. Any topic and issue involving data science are welcome. Pre-submission inquiries are encouraged. \nFor the 2024-2025 academic year\, IDSC seeks proposals that address issues in: \n\nSocial and Behavioral Sciences\nThe Humanities\n\nOther topics and issues are also welcome. Pre-submissions are encouraged. \nIn terms of this grant opportunity\, data science is defined as utilizing state-of-the-art approaches such as Machine Learning (ML) or Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable scientific discovery that is data driven. Simply\, proposing to analyze large data sets with traditional techniques (e.g.\, linear regression) is not responsive to this opportunity. Proposals that use ML/AI to develop new understanding are strongly encouraged. \nThe application process includes two steps: \nStep 1: The disciplinary researcher provides a one-page letter of intent to IDSC outlining the discipline-specific research and where data science fits in. Based on the letter of intent\, the IDSC review team will identify an IDSC data scientist for collaboration\, if the research team has not already identified a IDSC partner. Apply Now! \nStep 2: Upon invitation to advance to Step 2\, the research team (with assistance from the IDSC data scientist) will need to prepare 3 documents:\n1) A two-page proposal that outlines the research and the data science plan. The proposal should also include a short discussion of potential external funding mechanisms that the proposed work can use to enhance the competitive position of the research team. The application should include:\n2) an abbreviated one-page biosketch\, and\n3) a budget with justification using the linked templates included with this announcement. \nEligibility\nThis funding opportunity is open to UM Faculty with an active IDSC membership.  For more information on IDSC memberships and to apply\, visit https://idsc.miami.edu/membership/. \nReporting\nThe research team is required to submit an interim report midway through the performance period. The one-page report should include a brief description of the project’s progress and an overview of the financial situation. Upon project completion\, the research team will submit a one-page final report detailing any accomplishments attributed to the work of this project [publications\, proposal submission(s) for extramural funding\, data sets generated\, etc.] and give an oral presentation describing the research and results as part of IDSC’s seminar series. Scheduling of the oral presentation will be coordinated by IDSC’s Engagement Office. \nReview Process\nApplications will be reviewed by an evaluation committee to determine feasibility\, relevance to IDSC programs\, and in terms of how the proposed research will put the team in a more competitive position for external funding. \n \nImportant Information and Deadlines\n\nHave questions? Attend an INFO session led by Azizi Seixas: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, at 4:00 PM (:30 minutes) via Zoom. Please REGISTER.\nStep 1 – Letters of Intent:  Due by 5:00 PM Friday\, September 27\, 2024 | Step 1 Form\nInvitation to submit full proposal in Step. 2 with identification of an IDSC data scientist partner (if applicable):  October 14\, 2024\nStep 2 – Two-page proposal: Due by 5:00 PM on: Friday\,  November 22\,2024 \nNotice of Award:  On or before: December 18\, 2024\nProject performance period:  January 1 – December 31\, 2025\nInterim Report Due: June 30\, 2025\nService Units (SU) expire: January 31\, 2026\nFinal Report Due: February 28\, 2026\nOral Presentation of Results Due in Spring or Fall 2026\n\n  \n\n[1] Discretionary funds can be used for salary\, travel\, and other research-related expenditures as outlined in the proposal budget.  Equipment purchases are not allowed. \n  \n  \n
