Supercomputing Institute Research Scholars

In addition to providing state-of-the-art supercomputing resources to the University of Minnesota research community, the Supercomputing Institute offers a Research Scholarship Program that provides grants to enhance the supercomputing research programs of University of Minnesota faculty. These grants, which are peer reviewed and competitively awarded, are for the partial support of research associates who work closely with Supercomputing Institute principal investigators on their research projects. Over the past eleven years, 180 Supercomputing Institute Research Scholarships have been awarded. These Research Scholarships have provided an important opportunity for the creation and pursuit of research projects that might not have otherwise been attempted.
