Code for Science and Society is happy to announce its first cohort of Event Fund grant recipients! We appreciate the response to our first request for proposals from members of the data science community and the time and effort that applicants spent on their proposals. The grantees were selected based on the proposed event’s alignment with the mission of the fund and the organizers’ plans to create inclusive and accessible spaces for their communities. We are supporting a diverse range of communities, including established and emerging organizers and events. This program is made possible through award number GBMF8449 from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (https://doi.org/10.37807/GBMF8449). We thank the Event Fund Advisory Committee, Selection Committee, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation for their guidance in developing this community-advised fund to support research-driven data science communities around the globe.
Please join us in congratulating the first cohort of event fund grantees - stay tuned for our next RFP opening later this week! To stay up to date, join our mailing list.
Environmental Enforcement Watch: Open Data Science for Environmental Justice
Grantee: Kelsey Breseman
Aim: Introduce participants to data science tools using data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database, help them explore and interpret data relevant to them, and cultivate a community in which they can further develop their skills.
Data Science By Design: Opening Best Practices Through Storytelling
Grantee: Ciera Martinez
