The document discusses foundation support for data science tools and skills training. It notes that while career tracks and barriers to interdisciplinary work remain unchanged, computational and data analysis skills are increasingly important for researchers. The Data-Driven Discovery Initiative aims to catalyze shifts that encourage and reward data-intensive research. This includes making data science resources more accessible and ensuring students understand data analysis by 2020. The initiative promotes tools for data-driven research and funds environments welcoming data scientists to biology.
