This planning grant will lay the foundation for establishing a successful IUCRC site at University of North Carolina - Charlotte, affiliated with the existing IUCRC center - the Center for Visual and Decision Informatics (CVDI). The UNC Charlotte site will focus on establishing, promoting, and disseminating best practices for research, development, and application of big data-driven analysis of risk management and mitigation in sustainable societies (social good) and regional industries, including financial services, healthcare, energy, and retail. The site will use the existing UNC Charlotte big data repository and analytics tools framework, called SOPHI, to establish a computational platform for corporations, governments, and universities to jointly address the issue of risk management and mitigation through the use of data, analytics, actionable policies, and verifiable outcomes. The diversity of businesses around the Charlotte region has proven to be of interest to a diverse groupof students. With the existing graduate programs in analytics already more diverse than other UNC CharlotteSTEM graduate programs achieving 40% women enrollment, the PIs aim to attract underrepresented groups into the IUCRC activities and analytics programs on campus, both to augment those programs and to offer these students enhanced career opportunities in sought-after disciplines. As part of the award activities, the PIs will create a strategy and assign responsibilities for all aspects of this process.

这项规划拨款将为在北卡罗来纳州-夏洛特大学建立一个成功的IUCRC网站奠定基础，该网站隶属于现有的IUCRC中心-视觉和决策信息学中心（CVDI）。夏洛特夏洛特网站将专注于建立、推广和传播研究、开发和应用大数据驱动的可持续社会（社会公益）和区域行业（包括金融服务、医疗保健、能源和零售）风险管理和缓解分析的最佳实践。该网站将使用现有的夏洛特夏洛特大数据存储库和分析工具框架，称为SOPHI，为企业，政府和大学建立一个计算平台，通过使用数据，分析，可操作的政策和可验证的结果，共同解决风险管理和缓解问题。夏洛特地区商业的多样性已被证明是不同学生群体感兴趣的。随着现有的研究生课程在分析已经比其他大学夏洛特STEM研究生课程实现40%的女性入学率更加多样化，PI旨在吸引代表性不足的群体进入IUCRC活动和校园分析计划，既要增强这些计划，也要为这些学生提供更多的就业机会在抢手的学科。作为奖励活动的一部分，PI将制定一项战略，并为该过程的所有方面分配责任。
