Microsoft Research Announces New Requests for
Proposals for Academic Research Funding
Deadline: Various
As part of its mission to cultivate talent, encourage new
ideas, and foster continuous innovation in computer
science, Microsoft Corporation's ( http://www.microsoft.com/
<http://www.microsoft.com/> <http://www.microsoft.com/
<http://www.microsoft.com/> > )
External Research and Programs group has launched the
latest round of RFPs for academic research funding.
Microsoft Research will award grants later this year to
support projects in three key research domains:
1) Digital Memories: The Digital Memories (Memex) RFP
solicits proposals for research that builds on Vannevar
Bush's vision of a "memex," a device in which an individ-
ual stores all his books, records, and communications, and
which is mechanized so that it can be consulted quickly
and flexibly. Each award will include the Digital Memories
(Memex) software and two SenseCams. Microsoft Research
anticipates making approximately six to nine awards, with
a maximum of $50,000 for any single award.
2) Smart Clients for eScience: This RFP focuses on the
development of smart clients for scientific research.
Smart clients are a collection of tools for data gathering,
mining, and visualization that free scientists to focus on
their research rather than infrastructure. Microsoft
Research anticipates making approximately eight to twelve
awards, with a maximum of $50,000 for any single award.
3) Trustworthy Computing Curriculum: This RFP solicits
proposals to create, test, and disseminate a new curri-
culum that introduces advanced topics of Trustworthy
Computing into technical, business, and legal curricula.
Microsoft Research anticipates making approximately
fifteen awards, with a maximum of $50,000 for any single
award.
For all RFPs, the proposing institution must be an
accredited four-year college or university with nonprofit
status.
Details on funding objectives, eligibility, application
requirements, and deadlines for all programs are detailed
in the published RFPs on the Microsoft Research Web site.
