RISE AI Collaboration HQ to build connections and advance research, teaching and engagement​ Share this articleThis fall, the University of Wisconsin–Madison Data Science Institute (DSI) is assuming responsibility for a new, campus-wide effort called the RISE-AI Collaboration HQ. DSI Director Kyle Cranmer will lead the RISE-AI Collaboration HQ. Internal research funding competitions offered through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research are one source of seed funding for emerging collaborative research. The RISE-AI Collaboration HQ will connect both new and established campus researchers to this increased capacity for processing and data storage. The RISE-AI Collaboration HQ will serve as a pilot before the model is applied to RISE-EARTH and RISE-THRIVE.
