Summary

In recent years, Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) commitment to providing the world’s most powerful open resource for scientific computing has resulted in an impressive computational capability in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) has partnered with the laboratory to provide opportunities for meaningful faculty and student engagement with ORNL’s leadership computing capabilities through the ORAU/ORNL High Performance Computing Grant Program.

The grant totals $75,000 ($25,000 per year for up to three years) and two grants will be awarded per year. This program not only provides a monetary award, but more importantly, provides valuable access to ORNL’s computing resources and staff.

The goal is to expand the existing research initiatives of university faculty from ORAU member institutions or to create new research areas. Proposals for cross-cutting research projects from faculty are welcomed. Opportunities exist for both faculty and students.

For more information on the grant, team eligibility, etc., please see the Program Overview/Guidelines.
