The Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute (RDI2) is a Rutgers-wide multidisciplinary research entity focused on advanced computation and data sciences. Its aim is to create a comprehensive, internationally competitive program that integrates research, education, and infrastructure to support data-enabled science and engineering across Rutgers and beyond. RDI2 facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, engages with industry, and helps drive changes in research practices to address broad scientific and engineering challenges. Based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the institute fields a substantial portfolio of active research across Rutgers and partners, supported by a broad set of grants and established roles in advancing statewide cyberinfrastructure and big data initiatives. In addition to its core research program, RDI2 has contributed to forming institutional and regional bodies such as the Rutgers Office of Advanced Research Computing and the New Jersey Big Data Alliance, and has built and operated large-scale research computing platforms and data infrastructures, including deployments for national and university initiatives. A recent development involves Rutgers collaborations with external organizations across healthcare and industry to apply computational and data-driven approaches to practical problems, reflecting the institute’s ongoing role in expanding computational science within the university and the broader community.
