There is a growing demand for computational and data-science methods in public interest research. Academics need computational and software intensive solutions, and it can be a daunting to find a technical expert, vet them, communicate the goals of the project, and then follow through on the process of development and delivery.
For many years, CMAC has been bringing experts in social sciences, public health, the arts, and humanities into conversation with experts in computational and data science. We have delivered solutions over and over again, to research challenges on many different scales. Understanding this challenge researchers are facing, we saw an opportunity to be a bridge.
CMAC is proud to announce our consulting arm, nexusSIM.
nexusSIM aims to propel public-interest research by connecting scientists and scholars to cutting-edge tools and expertise. We collaborate with clients to deliver leading computational and data-science solutions that are customized, timely, and affordable.
