DSI at Brown University engages people across campus and beyond to: 

• Educate all in data fluency and advanced area-specific applications of data science methods 
• Stimulate large-scale multidisciplinary research developing and applying data science methods to multiple data modalities
• Ensure that the power of data be leveraged toward a more equitable society

DSI is unique because we:

• Equally value both domain-driven and fundamental methodological research in data science;
• Increase data fluency and educate the next generation of data scientists, through our master’s program and providing outreach to students and researchers at a variety of career stages;
• Explore the impact of the data revolution on culture, education, health and genomics, society, and social justice by engaging with research partners within the University and beyond.
