Context Understanding, managing, and using data often large amounts of unstructured data is becoming increasingly important in nearly every industry, government sector, and academic domain. Not having the skills and infrastructure to apply data science and analytics reliably and correctly has become a major risk for all sectors.

Activities - NCSU Data Science Initiative (NCSU) Institutionalization of DS&A - NC Data Science and Analytics Initiative (State) - NSF BigData Hub South East (NSF, US) Hunt Library, Creativity Studio HELP: The NCSU Proposal Development Unit (PDU) develops and facilitates faculty teams in the preparation of large-scale, multidisciplinary proposals. Because of the complex nature of these proposals, faculty members are encouraged to contact the DSI/NCSU/WW/Feb16/v5 10 PDU as early as possible to discuss how the PDU can be of assistance.
What Next? Data inventory and observatory Continued infrastructure investments Research and Education We would like to hear from NC State faculty and researcher ( today) What do you do? How can we help? Other? DSI/NCSU/WW/Feb16/v5 11
