2003 Report on Indiana University Accomplishments supported by Shared University Research Grants from IBM, Inc.

Abstract

Indiana University and IBM, Inc. have a very strong history of collaborative research, aided significantly by Shared University Research (SUR) grants from IBM to Indiana University. The purpose of this document is to review progress against recent SUR grants to Indiana University. These grants focus on the joint interests of IBM, Inc. and Indiana University in the areas of deep computing, grid computing, and especially computing for the life sciences. SUR funding and significant funding from other sources, including a $1.8M grant from the NSF and a portion of a $105M grant to Indiana University to create the Indiana Genomics Initiative, have enabled Indiana University to achieve a suite of accomplishments that exceed the ambitious goals set out in these recent SUR grants.
