About the 2016 Microsoft Research Grant For Public Health With Free Cloud Computing Resources
Applications are currently being accepted for the Microsoft Research Grant For Public Health. The Microsoft Azure for Research program is offering free cloud computing resources to researchers working toward developing a better understanding of matters affecting public health.
Scientists in many areas of research are affected by the growing need to better understand health issues that affect the world’s population. Whether they’re studying emerging infection diseases like the Zika virus, or chronic illnesses such as asthma and hypertension, scientists work with massive amounts of data and must push the limits of computer technology. Resolving health-related humanitarian crises as well as smaller-scale problems requires innovation on all fronts, including computer science. The Microsoft Azure Public Health Research Award aims to support researchers who are able to find applications for their work in this area.
