Please know that the IDA is committed to being a nexus of connectivity to better serve our students, faculty, staff as well as all of our stakeholders. We will continue to be a conduit of information during this pandemic and beyond providing resources to meet the deep and complex challenges of today, understanding the serious impact for our future.

The IDA Resource Guide will provide you with information about funding opportunities and resources. The IDA is a multidisciplinary research organization that focuses on the science of data and analytics for evidence and methodological-based research.
