CCT Data Science Group Procedures

Purpose

This book is to document the processes, resources, and internal workings of the Communications & Cyber Technologies Data Science Team at the University of Arizona. A public facing version of what we do and how to work with us is available at our website.

The CCT Data Science Team is a research support unit that helps life sciences researchers learn and apply data science tools and skills to their scientific projects. We are a small group of data scientists and research software engineers that work with domain researchers in the ALVSCE division through a variety of programming. We host workshops to demonstrate use of modern computational tools, work on collaborative projects, and help researchers one-on-one. The team teaches and applies a broad array of topics from best practices in R to version control using git to open and reproducible research workflows.
