Research Affinity Cohorts
The Program
June 16-27, 2025
Clark Atlanta University
By connecting multidisciplinary faculty and staff from HBCUs to conduct data science research that solves real problems, the Research Affinity Cohorts (RAC) program will accelerate discovery and innovation in data science. This program provides HBCU investigators with a hands-on summer research experience in investigating methods and models to provide insights on how to address bias, ethics, fairness, and validity in data science. Researchers will have an opportunity to boost their research, join a community of data science researchers, and shape the future of data science that impacts Black communities.
