Introduction

The NCSU Data Science Resources (NCSU-DSR) is one of three components of a federated data science platform that includes RENCI/UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC-Charlotte.

The NCSU-DSI’s resources were developed to provide NCSU faculty with centralized and shared Data Science resources; the underlying goal being to establish North Carolina as a leader in data analysis and management. NCSU recognizes data science/management as foundational for growth in scholarship and research. As a result, it has responded in several ways to institutionalize Data Science: One of those ways is to provide centralized data science resources. Shared resources reduces the barriers to this goal by

  1. Reducing administration costs for compliance
  2. Reducing administration costs for hardware and software maintenance
  3. Encouraging collaboration and exchange of ideas
