Propose a theme
If you'd like to shine a light on a specific area of interest in data science and health equity, and want to tap into the DSxHE community to augment your work and the work of others, then setting up a DSxHE Theme might be just the thing for you.
​
What it means to lead a Theme is up to you; all we ask is to plan for an initial year of activities, with a minimum of one activity a quarter. These can be as big or small as you want, as long as they align with DSxHE’s strategy. Don’t worry - the DSxHE team will help you plan, organise and promote these activities to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.
​
Anyone can join you in leading the Theme, or also be part of your Theme team, and we particularly encourage proposals from multiple individuals. There can also be a core ‘Partner’, such as an institution that’s largely supporting the work, as well as Theme Advisors to provide strategic guidance.
​
Before submitting a proposal below, do check out our existing Themes, dormant themes, and Terms of Reference for Theme leads. Or if you've got any further questions about leading a Theme, then get in touch.
​
Use this to submit your proposal for a Theme. We’ll get in touch with you (usually within a few days) to have chat about your proposal and help build a plan of activities for the first year of the Theme.
