Summary
The mission of the INCLUDE Data Coordinating Center is to accelerate research that benefits individuals with Down syndrome (DS) by facilitating access and analysis of data from cohort studies of people with DS. In order to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the INCLUDE Project specifically and in the DS research community more broadly, this administrative supplement will support a training program in data sciences for historically under-represented minorities (URMs). This award will fund an immersive summer course in data sciences known as the Data Science for Diverse Scholars in Down Syndrome Research (DS3), which will provide training in the basics of generation, identification, and collection of high content multidimensional datasets; their management, analysis, and visualization; as well as development of key professional skills required for the career advancement of diverse trainees.
