Research on Tap: Health Data Science

Data science offers immense potential to draw meaningful new insights from massive data sources that can shape healthcare practice, policies, and ultimately our understanding of the world. The goal of this Research on Tap is to bring together students, faculty, and research scientists from various disciplines across BU to catalyze new collaborations between the many scholars working in health data science at the University. To this end, the new Population Health Data Science program at the BU School of Public Health will be offering seed funding awards to event attendees, with the goal of advancing data-driven, interdisciplinary science in health or biomedicine. Funded projects will receive $5,000 for a one-year period, which can be used to support BU trainees, research supplies, equipment, etc.
