UW Data Science & AI Accelerator Accepting Summer 2026 Proposals (04/26/26)
Posted: 3/26/2026 ()
The Data Science and AI Accelerator pairs eScience Institute data scientists with researchers from any field of study to work on focused, collaborative projects. Collaborations may center on analysis of an existing dataset to answer a specific research question, an implementation of software for processing or analyzing data, data visualization tools, or tools for data interpretation. This program is centered around building capacity — helping researchers to learn the skills and tools they need to do their projects rather than providing people to write code for them. Projects for Summer 2026 must be received by April 26 at 11:59 PM PT.
If you are seeking professional software engineering support beyond the scope of the accelerator program, please consider UW SSEC as a partner on funded research projects in any field.
Unlike our previous Incubator program, the Accelerator program runs year-round, and proposals are accepted on a rolling basis for collaborations of variable duration (from 1 week to 6 months) and intensity (from sprints to slow burns).
Accelerator Projects may be submitted at any time. Projects for Summer 2026 must be received by April 26th at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Deadline: 04/26/2026
