Date posted: 19/07/2007 On July 16th, Microsoft Research outlined the specific projects to which it?s looking to universities for research contributions. Microsoft is offering academic researchers $3.7 million worth of research funding in the following areas: ? Cell phones as a platform for healthcare ($1 million). ?Encourages the development of new prototypes and tools that utilise cell phones to enable better healthcare services in rural and urban communities.? ? Biomedical computing for genome wide association studies ($700,000). ?Encourages researchers to develop tools that can facilitate better data usage and analysis for genomewide association studies to provide a stronger framework for enabling personalised treatment methods.? ? Intelligent Web 3.0 ($500,000). ?Encourages research to help find, discover, extract, publish, and share information, at a desk or on the go, safely, making the Web meaningful (from string manipulation to meaning computation) and enabling a human-centric, context-aware model of information access.? ? Mechanisms for safe and scalable multicore computing ($500,000). ?Encourages research in how operating systems and runtimes can evolve to enable safe and scalable concurrent programs.? ? Sustainable computing ($500,000). ?Encourages research in innovative approaches toward power-optimised system architectures, and adaptive power management solutions for maximising the energy efficiency of computing infrastructure.? ? Human-robot interaction ($500,000). ?Encourages research to take human-robot interaction to the next level through development of tools and methods that lead to practical applications with realistic commercial potential within five to 10 years.?
