Program to Empower Partnerships with Industry and Government (PEPI-G)
Deadline - April 1, 2020


Program Description:
The Program to Empower Partnerships with Industry and Government (PEPI-G) supports data faculty members, research scientists, postdocs, and graduate and undergraduate students (rising juniors and seniors as of 2020) from across the country in working on high level problems for the federal government. The overarching goals of the program are three-fold (1) support academics in developing relationships with industry and government for research collaboration and career success; (2) increase the capacity of students to enter the workforce landscape in data science, computing, and Big Data; (3) provide real-world impact through hands-on experience in data science.

Visit the South Big Data Hub PEPI-G site (https://southbigdatahub.org/pepi-g) to view the feedback and experiences of previous cohorts.
