Seed Grants

Since 2021, DSA seed grants have built and strengthened interdisciplinary networks among NC State researchers. Seed grants and proposal collaboration with DSA have led to NSF training and foundational research grants, an NEH center, and an NSF Career Award.

A collaboration between the Provost’s Office and the Office of Research and Innovation, the DSA grants

  • Build and strengthen interdisciplinary networks among NC State researchers focused on data science and AI; 
  • Fund researchers to organize workshops and other events that spark new interdisciplinary collaborations and proposal submissions; 
  • Broaden participation in and increase accessibility of data science and AI; and
  • Support proposal submission by connecting seed grant recipients with ORI/PDU resources and providing DSA proposal development support.
