With support from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) and the Division of Materials Research (DMR) in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE), this project aims to advance the use of modern data science in chemistry. In particular, the project will advance the field of data-driven chemical research by promoting the use of machine learning and other data mining techniques in the molecular sciences and by fostering and coalescing a community of stakeholders. The work of the project and the community it represents aims to transform chemistry's ability to tackle challenging discovery and design problems. This approach can dramatically accelerate and streamline the process that leads to chemical innovation -- an important factor in economic and technological advancement -- and thus result in an improved return on public and private investments. The project also addresses corresponding questions of training and workforce development needed in chemistry, thus insuring the US's international competitiveness. The mission of this project is to assert the role of big data research in the chemical domain, i.e., to promote, enable, and advance the ideas of data-driven discovery and rational design. The project aims to create a community-driven roadmap as well as facilitate concrete solutions that are beyond the scope of the disjointed efforts of its individual stakeholders. The Big Data Hubs and Spokes ecosystem is the ideal framework to realizing this vision and accelerating progress in this high-priority area of research. The effort at hand sets out to implement some of the key findings of the recent NSF Division of Chemistry workshop on Framing the Role of Big Data and Modern Data Science in Chemistry. The four signature initiatives of this Spoke project include (i) the planning, coordination, integration, and consolidation of community-developed software tools for big data research in chemistry as well as the formulation of guidelines, best practices, and standards; (ii) the organization of workshops for community building, to connect solution seekers with solution providers, and to address questions ranging from strategic to technical; and (iii) the creation and dissemination of community-developed teaching materials as well as the formulation of course, program, and curricular recommendations for education and workforce development that reflect the changing, data-centric approach in chemical research; (iv) providing access to a shared hardware infrastructure for community data sets, on-site data mining capacity, and the exploration of domain specific method and hardware issues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在数学和物理科学理事会（MPS）化学部（CHE）和材料研究部（DMR）以及计算机信息科学工程理事会（CISE）的支持下，该项目旨在促进现代数据科学在化学中的应用。特别是，该项目将通过促进在分子科学中使用机器学习和其他数据挖掘技术，以及通过培养和联合利益攸关方社区，推进数据驱动的化学研究领域。该项目及其所代表的社区的工作旨在改变化学的能力，以解决具有挑战性的发现和设计问题。这一办法可以大大加快和简化导致化学创新的进程-这是经济和技术进步的一个重要因素-从而提高公共和私人投资的回报。该项目还解决了化学所需的培训和劳动力发展的相应问题，从而确保了美国的国际竞争力。该项目的使命是肯定大数据研究在化学领域的作用，即，促进、实现和推进数据驱动的发现和理性设计的理念。该项目旨在创建一个社区驱动的路线图，并促进超出其个别利益相关者的脱节努力范围的具体解决方案。大数据中心和辐射生态系统是实现这一愿景并加速这一高优先级研究领域进展的理想框架。目前的努力是为了实施最近NSF化学部关于构建大数据和现代数据科学在化学中的作用的研讨会的一些关键发现。这个辐条项目的四个标志性举措包括：（一）规划，协调，整合和巩固社区开发的化学大数据研究软件工具，以及制定指导方针，最佳实践和标准;（二）组织社区建设研讨会，将解决方案寻求者与解决方案提供者联系起来，并解决从战略到技术的问题;以及（iii）创建和传播社区开发的教学材料，以及制定课程，计划和课程建议，以反映化学研究中不断变化的以数据为中心的方法;（iv）为社区数据集提供共享硬件基础设施，现场数据挖掘能力，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
