Project Description: Funding Database Software Development

Main Goal:

The main goal of this project is to leverage our data sources to create a data science model and dashboard that will facilitate the visualization and communication of critical insights related to funding data.

Project Specifics:

This ambitious project will encompass several essential steps for the learners, including:

1. Data Analysis and Assessment:

• Analyzing the existing data sources to understand their structure and quality.
• Assessing data availability and identifying potential gaps.

2. Data Preprocessing:

• Developing a data science model that can efficiently handle the data.
• Cleaning and transforming the data to make it suitable for analysis.
• Ensuring data ethics and quality assurance processes are adhered to.

3. Model Development and Optimization:

• Building a data science model to organize, classify, and analyze the funding data.
• Optimizing model performance and identifying areas for improvement.
• Researching additional variables that could enhance the accuracy and usefulness of the model.

4. Testing and Iteration:

• Thoroughly testing the developed model to validate its accuracy and reliability.
• Making adjustments and refinements to the model based on testing results.

5. Data Visualization and Presentation:

• Creating initial interactive data visualizations that allow users to explore funding data.
• Presenting initial findings through engaging data narratives to effectively communicate insights.
