Description

This program aims to advance scientific community datasets to enable scientific discovery and innovation using artificial intelligence (AI) and other methods. It focuses on increasing the value derived from existing scientific datasets by leveraging novel methods and AI to unlock new insights, enable interdisciplinary research, and facilitate investigations beyond original data collection purposes. The program seeks proposals that apply AI for feature extraction, metadata generation, dataset integration, develop robust data pipelines for automated analysis, and augment datasets to support AI tools. Proposals should address dataset security, integrity, governance, and community contribution, and may leverage existing NSF data platforms and national infrastructure.
