ALL-SPICE is organized around a Collective Impact framework. The Collaborative Infrastructure is centered on a Backbone Partnership between four institutions focused on capacity-building for data science in Hawaii and the USAPI:

Chaminade University: Operationalizes and innovates Data Science curriculum at the the course and program level; develops and offers Certification and accessible online DS and AI training opportunities to students and working professionals in Hawaii and the USAPI; implements the ‘Wayfinding to Data’ portfolio of activities; supports faculty and student research on Pacific data science use cases; conducts STEM educational research on inclusive pedagogy; develops internship opportunities and workforce development strategies with employers; develops and implements partnership building, dissemination and sustainability strategies.

TACC: TACC leadership and faculty contribute on curriculum design and innovation, research mentoring of faculty and students, collaboration on STEM education research around inclusive data science pedagogy, design and implementation of computing competitions. TACC provides technical assistance with advanced data science, access to HPC and Science Gateway resources, development of the ALL-SPICE repository. TACC offers research internships and graduate pathways for students and contributes to partnership building, project dissemination and sustainability strategies.

East-West Center: As an International center for Indo-Pacific diplomacy, strategic development and multi-lateral relations, EWC links our project to the priorities of Hawai’i and USAPI leadership at the governmental and regional levels. EWC disseminates ALL-SPICE directions, opportunities and outcomes to Pacific stakeholders, informs the project with Pacific perspectives and links students to graduate pathways within EWC programming.

University of Hawaii: John A Burns School of Medicine and Hawaii Data Science Institute at UH Manoa faculty and staff collaborate on data science curriculum design and innovation, research mentoring of faculty and students, STEM educational research around inclusive data science pedagogy, and recruitment of UH students to ALL-SPICE opportunities. They provide technical assistance in the fields of AI and health equity data science, access to HPC and Hawaii-Pacific Science Gateway resources. UH offers research internships and graduate pathways for students and contributes to partnership building, project dissemination and sustainability strategies.
