Collaborative Research: Pervasive Data Ethics for Computational Research (PERVADE)
Principal Investigator(s): Katie Shilton Jessica Vitak
Funders: National Science Foundation
Research Areas: Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization Information Justice, Human Rights, and Technology Ethics
Examining how the risks of using pervasive data in computational research can be quantified, what factors impact willingness to contribute data to research, how diverse computational researchers address core research ethics values, and how regulators are adjusting to the new burdens they face in governing computational research.

Connecting Rural and Small Libraries to Connected Learning
Principal Investigator(s): Mega Subramaniam
Funders: Institute of Museum and Library Services
Research Areas: Library and Information Science Youth Experience, Learning, and Digital Practices
With funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the ConnectedLib Toolkit helps librarians incorporate digital media into their work with youth to promote connections across learning contexts. We are currently working with the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL) to expand the toolkit to better meet the needs of library staff working in rural areas and small libraries.

Coupled Statistics-Physics Guided Learning to Harness Hetergeneous Earth Data at Large Scales
Principal Investigator(s): Sergii Skakun
Funders: NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center Other Non-Federal
Research Areas: Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization
This project is funded by NASA's Advanced Information Systems and Technology (AIST) program. It aims to advance machine learning for Earth Science problems. Specifically, we will develop new technologies that address two major challenges facing machine learning for broad Earth Science applications—spatial heterogeneity, where satellite observations and their relationships to the prediction targets vary over space, and the limited and highly localized nature of ground-truth data that are needed to train the algorithms.
