The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) Fellowship Application

The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) is seeking applications for a new AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at the University of Michigan (the Schmidt AI in Science program). Funding for the program comes from the Eric & Wendy Schmidt Postdoctoral Fellowship, a program of Schmidt Futures. This program provides outstanding early-career researchers with intensive training & research experience as they ready themselves for independent research in academic & other sectors. We aim to enable the substantive us of AI for breakthroughs in science & engineering, & cultivate global science leaders. Specifically, we will:

1) Catalyze creative & transformative applications of AI with the potential to lead to major scientific breakthroughs carried out by the Fellows and their mentors.

2) Enable a broader U-M research community to adopt AI in imagining, planning, executing, & supporting research applications across a range of science & engineering domains.

3) Provide outstanding training to the Fellows.

4) Collaborate with other sites to maximize the impact of the program.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeking input on the utility and future promise of multidimensional tumor atlases

NOT-CA-23-011 Request for Information on Challenges and Opportunities Associated with Multidimensional Tumor Atlases

 At this time NCI is soliciting feedback on the utility and future promise of multidimensional tumor atlases. All stakeholders with an interest in using or constructing multidimensional tumor atlases are invited to provide information. Note: for the purposes of this request, multidimensional tumor atlases are envisioned to include detailed information at the clinical, tissue, cellular, molecular, morphological, functional, temporal, and/or spatial level.

 NCI is particularly interested in hearing from the cancer biology, prevention, and translational cancer research communities, especially those who would like to incorporate knowledge derived from multidimensional tumor atlases. Information about other atlas programs (national or international) that inform responses to the questions above is also welcome. If desired, your response may mention your membership or affiliation within industry, government, or academia.
