We had another win for big data in North Carolina in 2015.
Researchers at RENCI (the Renaissance Computing Institute at UNC Chapel Hill), UNC Charlotte and NC State University received funding this year to develop advanced technologies and solutions that will position North Carolina as a leader in data science research and applied data analytics.
The project, called the North Carolina Data Science and Analytics (DSA) Initiative, will receive about $2.1 million over the next three years through the UNC Research Opportunities Initiative (ROI) awards, funded by a targeted legislative appropriation.
