The Data Science Institute supports faculty across the full research lifecycle. Through specialized grant support, strategic seed funding, and targeted opportunities, we foster interdisciplinary collaboration and invest in promising ideas to advance Columbia’s research enterprise. DSI Seed Fund Program: Catalyzing Interdisciplinary Research DSI invests directly in faculty-led research through our competitive Seed Fund Program.
Designed to cultivate new collaborations between data scientists and domain experts, the program promotes interdisciplinary inquiry aligned with university strategic priorities. In 2025, DSI awarded four one-year projects aimed at advancing artificial intelligence (AI), climate, mental health, and social justice.
By fostering early-stage research partnerships, DSI aims to build sustained scholarly networks and propel promising ideas toward long-term impact.
Learn more about the DSI Seed Fund Program Targeted Support for Priority Research Areas In addition to core funding areas, this year the Institute launched the Frontiers Initiative, a new initiative from DSI which will sponsor faculty-led programming (e.g., panels, hackathons, and more) exploring timely research themes.
The initiative is designed to spark intellectual exchange, surface emerging research questions, and drive interdisciplinary exploration across the university. We will explore a few through a mix of curated programming (e.g. symposia, panel discussions, hackathons and more).
DSI’s financial and in-kind support for this programming will empower our community to pursue new directions at the intersection of data science and AI, and our most pressing societal challenges.

NSF just put $83 million into six national-scale data systems through its Integrated Data Systems and Services program — the plumbing that makes AI-for-science actually work. Here is who won, how the three-category structure (national-scale, transition, planning) really functions, why the Category III planning grant is the on-ramp most teams should be aiming at, and how to build readiness before the next fourth-Tuesday-in-July deadline.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
