The Institute’s research mission is to enhance research in the affiliated departments, institutes, centers, and programs to foster interdisciplinary, data-intensive research collaborations, and be a Rutgers-wide resource for collaborative projects and consortia related to Data Science, Learning, and Applications.

This will be achieved through federally funded programs by focusing on bringing together multiple faculty with connected research interests. The Institute will leverage current strengths by creating a multiplier effect in many of the areas across Rutgers that already are primed in the direction of Data Science.
