Seed corn project highlights
We have provided seed corn funding for a broad variety of topics including in health, digital humanities, life sciences, the environment, ethics and reproducible research and data science for science.
The Jean Golding Institute seed corn funding is a fantastic opportunity to develop multi and interdisciplinary ideas while promoting collaboration in data science and AI.
