Research Funding
MIDAS offers funding opportunities for students, researchers, and faculty, including:
Center for Data-Driven Drug Development and Treatment Assessment (DATA)
Funding for computational methods, data science solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques in drug design, drug repositioning, drug treatment assessment, patient phenotyping, and quantitative pharmacovigilance.
Research Coordination
MIDAS provides resources to support projects through the entire life cycle of research, from ideation and skills training to publishing.
Faculty-Student Research Connection
Many U-M faculty members seek students with data science and AI skills for research assistance. Many U-M students in data science and AI programs and student organizations (together forming the MIDAS Student Organizations Council and representing more than 1100 graduate and undergraduate students) are eager to be involved in faculty research projects as individuals or as small student teams.

Funding Trends Discussion Series
Explore sessions from the MIDAS Funding Trends Discussion Series, where funders, campus leaders, and researchers shared insights on emerging funding priorities and strategic approaches. Although the series is no longer active, these recordings remain a valuable resource for understanding the evolving research funding landscape.
Datasets
MIDAS helps U-M researchers develop new datasets and make datasets machine learning ready through training, as well as funding opportunities. Examples of datasets that have been supported through MIDAS grants (e.g., the Propelling Original Data Science program) or that have been developed by MIDAS-affiliated faculty, postdocs, and other researchers are highlighted below.
