Data Science Institute

The Data Science Institute (formerly Data7) fosters the next generation of data-driven research by encouraging university-wide interdisciplinary collaboration, gaining external visibility, developing industry alliances, and increasing funding for Arizona research.

By connecting Arizona researchers and aligning institutional expertise, computational resources, and infrastructure, the Data Science Institute enables investigators to ask more complex questions and achieve outcomes not easily attainable as individual investigators or within purely disciplinary teams.

U of A DataLab

The U of A DataLab  serves as a vibrant center for fostering interdisciplinary research in the field of data science. It offers a collaborative environment where researchers and students from diverse disciplines come together to explore, analyze, and extract insights from complex datasets. Through interdisciplinary workshops, consultations, and a range of tools and resources, the DataLab empowers researchers, students, and industry partners to harness the potential of data-driven discovery.

Collaborate on Research

The Data Science Institute provides initial support to University of Arizona research projects by funding part-time graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, technical staff, and computational infrastructure – all working to start new collaborations or broaden existing collaborations. Preference will be given to projects that have received favorable ranking but have not received funding.

Use CyVerse at U of A

U of A students, faculty, and staff have free access to CyVerse, the world-class computational platform for open science thanks to the Technology and Research Initiative Fund (TRIF) with the State of Arizona. As part of the Data Science Institute's goals, CyVerse helps support research, fosters collaboration, promotes data science training, and helps to solve data-driven challenges.

Primary funding for the University of Arizona Data Science Institute is made available from the 
Technology and Research Initiative Fund (TRIF) provided by the taxpayers of the State of Arizona.
