Specific Aims
We will leverage the strengths of our institutions, years of experience mentoring students and junior researchers, existing training tools and programs, and access to large datasets to ensure that D-SINE Africa benefits from an administrative and scientific environment to successfully achieve the Center’s goals, seamlessly integrate with DS-I Africa, and foster the next generation of African researchers leveraging data science methodology to benefit the health and well-being of their communities via the following Specific Aims:

AIM 1
Curate and make available a "Data Science Methods Toolkit" so as to mentor and enable emerging African scientists to incorporate data science methodologies into research projects. This is aimed at propelling junior scientists towards independence.
AIM 2
Implement a Seed Grant Program to launch the careers of junior African scientists working at the intersection of injury, surgery, and/or equity.
AIM 3
Create an enabling administrative and financial environment at D-SINE Africa institutions to successfully administer and manage D-SINE Africa and facilitate completion of its goals.
Capacity Building Core Leadership
The Capacity Building Core is co-led by Dr. Mama Foupouagnigni (African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cameroon) and Dr. Sandra McCoy (University of California, Berkeley). The CBC also benefits from additional core faculty who have decades of experience mentoring scholars in low- and middle-income countries.
