Data Corps Workshop

2017年12月7日至8日将在华盛顿特区举行一个研讨会，计划创建一个数据科学队。数据科学队将帮助建立地方、州、国家和国际各级组织利用数据推进科学和帮助解决社会问题的能力。数据科学队将为美国数据科学家和数据科学学生提供实践经验和教学机会，他们将作为志愿者在各种场所从事数据科学项目，包括学术界、工业界、政府以及各种城市和农村社区。研讨会将汇集各种各样的利益相关者，讨论这样一个数据科学队的愿景和实施。它将为定义数据科学队的组织和实施细节提供机会，并将详细说明该计划如何最好地为志愿者和计划受益人服务。研讨会将包括代表各利益攸关方的发言人的演讲，并将包括讨论会议，以帮助制定建立该计划的想法。通过数据科学队，志愿者——包括数据科学专业人员和数据科学学生——将能够为现实世界的数据科学问题提供帮助，并将为各行各业的用户提供数据科学培训。通过为地方、州和国家各级的学术界、工业界、政府和社区的项目提供援助，数据科学队的志愿者将获得有关现实世界数据科学问题的实践经验，并获得作为数据科学教师和培训师的经验。数据科学军团项目可以通过提供数据科学主题和重点，帮助加强学术机构现有的实习项目。数据科学军团将补充现有的NSF项目，包括大数据区域创新中心、辐条和智能和连接社区。这样一个项目将有助于改善所有应用领域的数据收集和数据分析，无论是在城市还是农村社区，以及在地方、州、国家和国际层面。因此，这些社区将有更大的能力来实施数据驱动的解决方案。

A workshop will be held in Washington, DC on December 7-8, 2017 to plan for the creation of a Data Science Corps. The Data Science Corps will help build the capacity of organizations at the local, state, national and international levels to utilize data to advance science and to help solve social problems. The Data Science Corps would offer practical experiences and teaching opportunities to U.S. data scientists and data science students, who would serve as volunteers working on data science projects in a variety of venues including, academia, industry, government, and various urban and rural communities. The workshop will bring together a wide variety of stakeholders to discuss the vision and implementation of such a Data Science Corps. It will provide the opportunity to define the organizational and implementation details of the Data Science Corps, and will elaborate upon how the initiative can best serve the volunteers as well as the program beneficiaries. The workshop will include presentations by speakers representing a variety of stakeholders, and will include discussions sessions to help develop ideas for establishment of the program.Via the Data Science Corps, volunteers--including data science professionals as well as data science students--will be able to offer assistance to real world data science problems, and will provide data science training to users across a wide variety of sectors. By providing assistance to projects in academia, industry, government in communities at the local, state and national levels, Data Science Corps volunteers would gain practical experience on real world data science problems, as well as gain experience as data science teachers and trainers.The Data Science Corps program can help enhance existing internship programs at academic institutions by providing a data science theme and focus. The Data Science Corps would complement existing NSF programs, including the Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs, Spokes, and Smart and Connected Communities.Such a program will help with improved data collection and data analysis across all applications areas, whether in urban or rural communities, and at the local, state, national and international levels. As a result, these communities will have greater capacity to implement data-driven solutions.
