The Computer Science Department at the University of Iowa will conduct a
10-week summer research program funded by the National Science Foundation
(NSF). Our site is motivated by the considerable strain on the U.S. healthcare
system due to short-term challenges, such as those posed by the COVID-19
outbreak, and long-term trends, such as an aging U.S. population. Computer
scientists are in a unique position to help solve these and other problems in health
and well-being. Ten participants will join their faculty mentor's research group to
work on interdisciplinary projects.
