Data Justice Academy is a grant from the National Science Foundation that funds a 10-week residential summer program for undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups in data science, hosted by the University of Virginia's School of Data Science. Participants perform mentored research while learning technical skills, with a focus on how data science and data justice intersect.
The program aims to highlight how data science can be used to address societal inequities and to create a more diverse and inclusive data science workforce. Eligible participants are undergraduate students from underrepresented groups in data science; universities can also apply to host similar NSF-supported programs.

Data Justice Academy Receives New Funding from NSF — School of Data Science Type a word to search or ESC to close Data Justice Academy participants present their research during a 2023 event.
The National Science Foundation will provide funding to the University of Virginia’s Data Justice Academy, the agency recently announced, support that will help the summer program continue to serve undergraduate students from groups that are historically underrepresented in data science.
Established in 2021 by the School of Data Science, the Data Justice Academy provides a 10-week residential experience to participants in which they perform mentored research while learning technical skills. The overriding goal of the Data Justice Academy is to highlight for participating students how data science and computational social science can be used to help communities and promote a more just world.
Beginning next year, the School of Data Science will partner with UVA's Equity Center in managing the program.
Thus far, the academy has provided such opportunities to more than 30 undergraduate students to work on projects focused on issues like health disparities, privacy concerns with large language models, the labelling of transgender individuals in census and public health data collection, and many more — all centered around the three research pillars of the Data Justice Academy: social inequality, ethical data science, and critical data studies.
Demonstrating the positive impact data projects can have on communities is vital to recruiting students from minority groups and other backgrounds to STEM-related fields, the academy’s organizers say.
“Research experiences at the undergraduate level have been classified as a high-impact practice — that is, they transform student engagement, performance, retention, and well-being,” said Claudia Scholz , founding director of the Data Justice Academy and director for research development at the School of Data Science.
“We are grateful for NSF’s support to allow us to continue to provide these experiences to students from underrepresented groups." Throughout the 10-week program, students work with School of Data Science faculty and graduate students, providing participants invaluable professional development as they look ahead toward potential graduate school opportunities and their career paths.
In the funding proposal to the NSF, academy organizers laid out planned research efforts for upcoming cohorts of students.
They include the Climate Justice Mapping project, aimed at identifying opportunities for equitable climate planning; the Housing Justice Atlas project, which will develop a predictive model to analyze various eviction challenges given different policy scenarios; an initiative to mitigate demographic bias in facial recognition; and an examination of the political economies of digital identity and biometric systems in the humanitarian sector.
The NSF award is expected to fund the Data Justice Academy through summer 2027. The directors of the grant are Scholz and Yue Cheng , an associate professor at the School of Data Science. Since its inception, the program has received support from Capital One, Deloitte, Oracle, and a private gift.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
NSF Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I Programs is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). These programs provide non-dilutive funds for use-inspired research and development of unproven, leading-edge technology innovations that address societal challenges. NSF funds broadly across scientific and engineering disciplines and does not solicit specific technologies.
Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program invites innovative multidisciplinary and multisector investigations focused on convergent research and education activities in wildland fire. It supports research that can inform risk management and response, adaptation, and resilience across infrastructures, communities, cultures, and natural environments.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity.
