The vision of the IDSC Fellows Program is to inspire a new generation of leaders in data science to cross the traditional boundaries between disciplines. IDSC joins with University faculty to mentor IDSC Fellows on how to best utilize University\u2019s cutting-edge advanced computing resources in their proposed research projects. <\/p>\n

2022-2023 Brochure<\/span><\/h4>\n

At the beginning and close of each academic year, IDSC Fellows present their work at an open, in-person symposium. No stipend is offered, but a small cash prize is awarded. IDSC Fellows develop their computational skills and expand their research experience under the guidance of\u00a0two<\/em>\u00a0mentors. Both mentors are faculty members: The first is the student\u2019s research advisor, and the second is identified by the IDSC Fellows program and provides the computational research expertise.<\/p>\n

This is a prestigious designation awarded each year to a total of four graduate or undergraduate (sophomore level or above) students. Applicants may be from any School or College at the University of Miami and must be in good standing. The application deadline is Friday, October 28, 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n
