Notre Dame’s Lucy Family Institute and Berthiaume Institute ignite student engagement through the launch of the Health Equity Data Science Challenge

Students at the University of Notre Dame are working together to leverage data to investigate the impacts of the opioid crisis, maternal morbidity, racial inequity and other vexing health obstacles. 

The Health Equity Data Science Challenge, launched in Fall 2024, debuted an interdisciplinary opportunity for students to create and investigate a novel, data-driven question in health equity. The challenge, co-hosted by the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society and the Berthiaume Institute for Precision Health, received project submissions from almost thirty undergraduate students from various majors at Notre Dame. 

The winning project, “Bridging the Gaps: Examining the Effects of New York Law I-STOP on Opioid Distribution Across Counties,” examined the effects of the New York 2012 legislation, Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing (I-STOP) and focused on social inequalities that can influence health outcomes.

The Human-Centered Responsible AI (HRAI) Lab at the Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society seeks highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the area of human-centered AI, responsible AI, and human-AI interaction.

The postdoc will be a residential scholar within the Lucy Family Institute office space as well as an active participant within the Lucy Postdoctoral Scholar Community to enable greater collaboration between the Institute faculty and other postdoctoral scholars who are recruited through this initiative.

For more information on other open opportunities, and to apply, please visit the Lucy Family Institute website.
