Data Intensive Science Request for Ideas
http://dis.ideascale.com/
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation's Science Program is seeking the community's feedback on where to invest in the area of data-intensive science. We would appreciate your good ideas, and your thoughts on other's ideas, from now through the middle of September, 2011. The Science Program will review these ideas and incorporate them into this year's strategic planning.
The increasing volume and complexity of scientific data are overwhelming current research practices, and create additional barriers to an already challenged science infrastructure, workforce and funding landscape. Many agencies and foundations are looking at ways to best combat the growing wave of challenges caused by today’s data deluge, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s RFI on Data Intensive Science is intended to add to this growing body of thinking. This RFI is being conducted in the open and for the benefit of anyone looking to navigate these areas. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Science Program only funds natural and applied science research, we request that ideas related to domain specific challenges stay within these fields.
We welcome your participation in this effort. The intention in 2011 is to create a focused strategy in data-intensive science that strongly complements funding by government agencies, other foundations and private industry. We are leaving the definition of "data-intensive science" open, except to say that it is not intended to encompass "big data" exclusively.
