NCSA Fellowships

The mission of NCSA (the National Center for Supercomputing Applications) is to promote advances across a broad range of fields of inquiry, from innovation in science and engineering to breakthroughs in the social sciences to creativity in the arts and humanities. NCSA brings its expertise with high-performance computing, data management, scientific visualization, visual data analysis, and other advanced IT technologies to bear on problems in the arts, architecture, agricultural engineering, aeronautics, and a host of other disciplines.

Through its fellowship programs NCSA provides resources and support that enable scholars to pursue collaborative projects with scientists and computer technology experts at the center. Since 1999, fellowships funded by NCSA and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have allowed dozens of campus faculty to access and benefit from NCSA's high-performance computing and storage environment, cutting-edge visualization and virtual reality technologies, data mining capabilities, and opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration. Beginning in 2006, scholars and researchers from institutions across the country and around the world also became eligible to receive fellowships to explore and develop advanced cyberinfrastructure in collaboration with NCSA. Thanks to these fellowships, researchers can combine their vision with NCSA's capabilities to tackle research problems and projects that would otherwise be out of reach.

This site will provide you with details on the fellowships offered by NCSA.

• Faculty Fellowships - a joint effort between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and NCSA. Through this program, faculty can access and benefit from NCSA's high-performance computing and storage environment, cutting-edge visualization and data analysis capabilities, and opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration.
• Summer Fellowships - an effort for researchers not at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Funding is available for six summer fellowships for faculty interested in contributing to the creation of a national cyberinfrastructure for science and engineering.
• International Fellowships - NCSA offers fellowships to researchers from the institutions that participate in our International Affiliates Program. For more information, email fellowship@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
