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.
