Hello all,
Apologies if this isn’t appropriate for this group but I thought it would
be of interest. Below, please find the press release about the
Collaborative Archive & Data Research Environment’s (CADRE) new fellowship
program, which is offering special resources to those working on COVID-19
or coronavirus-related research.

*CADRE creates fellowship program for those working on coronavirus-related
research*
*April 6, 2020* — In response to the White House’s call to action
for the scientific community to help solve important COVID-19 questions,
the CADRE project has created the Research Cohort for the Study of
Coronaviruses (RCSC)
fellowship program.
The RCSC Program gives any researcher working on COVID-19 or
coronavirus-related research the opportunity to work in CADRE’s cloud-based
platform and take advantage of a special tier of service. Research teams
can consist of graduate students, staff, and faculty from any U.S. or
non-U.S. university—teams can span any discipline and institution.
RCSC researchers will be able to:
– Query across the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19)
of scholarly literature in its raw format and parsed into a relational
database, which will be updated weekly
– Query across CADRE’s Web of Science and Microsoft Academic Graph
datasets
– Use CADRE’s cloud-computing resources, GUI query-builder, and Jupyter
Notebook coding environment
– Receive intensive technical support for their work
– Present their research in the CADRE Fellows Webinar Series
Currently, there is no deadline for proposal submissions, and we plan to
accept RCSC research teams as we are able to provide support.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal, you can do so here.

*About CADRE*
CADRE is an IMLS-funded, cloud-based platform that provides academic
libraries and researchers with sustainable, affordable, and standardized
text- and data-mining services for licensed big datasets, as well as open
and non-consumptive datasets too large or unwieldy to work with in existing
research library environments. The platform is currently in its alpha phase
and any researchers may test it
.
CADRE is led by the Indiana University Libraries in partnership with the
Indiana University Network Science Institute and the Big Ten Academic
Alliance. The project is also supported by eight Big Ten Academic Alliance
library partners , the Web of Science
Group, Microsoft Research, and the Midwest, South, and West Big Data Hubs.
You can learn more about the CADRE platform here

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you,
Jamie
