MICDE seeks proposals for innovative research projects in computational science that combine elements of mathematics, computer science, and cyberinfrastructure. Of interest is innovative computational research in any emerging area, including but not limited to (a) applications such as neuroscience, ecology, environmental science, evolutionary biology, human-made complex systems, urban infrastructure and energy, (b) frameworks for scientific software, exascale, quantum, or neuromorphic computing, and (c) concepts such as computations to decisions. The aim of the Catalyst Grants program is to advance projects that have the potential to attract additional external funding. Priority will be given to high-impact projects with potential to eventually attract external funding. MICDE expects to fund 3-4 one-year projects at up to $100,000 each.

In this informational session, MICDE officials will clarify the program’s intent, answer questions and facilitate team formation among attendees.
