Summary The data science supplement aims to achieve objective 2 of NOT-OD-23-123, developing infrastructure at the University of Wyoming to support brain health research in bioinformatics, supercomputing, modeling, simulation, training, and education. The Wyoming Sensory Biology COBRE (WSBC) conducts high-quality scientific research on human sensory systems and related disorders, addressing critical public health issues like Alzheimer's disease. While data science is crucial for WSBC's research goals, it was not a major component of the parent award. The underdeveloped data science research infrastructure at UW poses challenges for WSBC researchers, hindering the leveraging of omics technologies. Therefore, this proposal outlines three specific aims: 1) Establishing institutional infrastructure for brain health data science research. 2) Enhancing access to controlled omics and electrophysiology datasets, promoting research collaboration and training. 3) Expanding research bases in data science and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. These aims have a significant impact on local neuroscience research communities by driving innovation, advancing brain health research, and creating a productive research ecosystem.
