Extramural Funding
Are you pursuing extramural funding for research that could benefit from data science collaboration? The American Family Insurance Data Science Institute (DSI) works with researchers and teams across campus to foster opportunities, including grant partnerships. We are happy to discuss opportunities for collaboration. To set up a meeting, email us at research@datascience.wisc.edu.
DSI Data Science Collaborator Program
The Data Science Collaborator Program offers short-term partnerships (weeks to months) with campus researchers and teams. DSI will assign a data scientist to work closely with you to build your data science capacity. Ideally, this collaboration will enable investigation of new questions, benefit science or society, and open up new funding opportunities. Proposals are accepted on an ongoing basis. See the Data Science Collaborator Program page for details.
Industry Partnerships
The American Family Insurance Data Science Institute connects businesses with campus data scientists to catalyze innovation. DSI launched in 2019 with a $10 million research commitment from American Family, awarded through an annual funding competition at DSI. This unique partnership with UW-Madison gives American Family the opportunity to strengthen operations and better serve their customers, while providing DSI with an unparalleled opportunity to pave the way for new collaborations. DSI seeks to invite more industry partners to the table, with the goal of deepening the benefits of data science research to both their businesses and society.
