University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute for Digital Simulation and Advanced Computation (MSI) Seed Grants

MSI initiated a program for providing seed grants for research projects in the field of high-performance computing and solicited proposals for grants awarded in 2008-2009.

Proposals were encouraged in areas including, but not limited to, algorithms, applications, system software, system architectures, and issues of scaling to thousands of processors. The proposals most likely to receive funding will be those assessed to have the greatest technical quality, level of interdisciplinary cooperation, potential to attract external funding, and potential for increasing the visibility of high-performance computing at the University of Minnesota.

Most grants are expected to be approximately $50,000, although grants of up to $100,000 may be provided.

Proposals were due February 1, 2008 for grants in 2008-2009.
