As data collection and analysis becomes increasingly complex with the rapidly expanding size of data sets, the University of Wisconsin–Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) must offer adequate support to both bring us on par with peer institutions and build a foundation from which to launch us to leadership in research and scientific training. The era of big data and digital agriculture requires thoughtful planning and ongoing investment in personnel and infrastructure to continue to stay on the forefront of our disciplines. 

If you have any questions, please contact Troy Runge, Associate Dean for Research in CALS.
