0/200

Submit a 500-700 word summary of the project and objectives. The ideal proposal will clearly identify the datasets involved and the research question(s) to be answered. Please also explain how the technical component of the project is critical to delivering exciting new findings or novel approaches.*

0/700

The student fellows in our program have diverse backgrounds and skill sets. Please describe 1) the kinds of tasks you envision your student team under-taking; and 2) the types of backgrounds or expertise that would be most helpful for your project.*

Describe how you will assess the success of the project. Please specify a) what deliverables will be produced if the project is successful, including software, datasets, papers, teaching materials, blog posts, visualizations, etc. and b) future impact or influence that would constitute success for the project. NOTE: If this proposal is part of an ongoing project, please differentiate your DSSG summer goals from those of the larger project and indicate the precise role that the DSSG will play in the project.*

0/300

If your proposal requires access to data, tell us about the datasets. Describe what is measured, the formats or file types currently used to store the data, and the approximate size of the data in terms of number of bytes.

Example: "We have survey responses from a WebQ survey of 25,000 participants. The survey contained 40 multiple-choice questions covering respondents' demographic information and daily modes of transportation. Each participant’s response is stored as 1 row per participant in an Excel spreadsheet, which is about 1 MB in size."

Example: "We have underway flow cytometry data from thirty cruises in the northeast Pacific Ocean. For each cruise, we have a collection of binary files that each contain raw measurement data in a custom format. Each file is about 5 MB and contains spectroscopic measurements of about 100,000 particles with 8 variables measured for each particle; we have about 5,000 files per cruise for a total of about 100 GB of data."

If your proposal does not require access to data, enter "not applicable."

Description of Project Data*

This year, we anticipate that DSSG Student Fellows will be working on campus and will be required to be present during most regular business hours (though teams will have some flexibility in this regard). However, Project Leads may be able to participate remotely for most or all of the program if desired. If your project proposal advances to our shortlist, we will have a conversation with you about what format would work best for you. Please select the statement below that best reflects your preferences in this matter:

I am primarily interested in leading a project remotely.I am primarily interested in leading a project in-person.I am equally interested in leading a project either remotely or in-person.Other
