The National Science Foundation $10-million grant to Indiana University to lead the development of a new FutureGrid has boosted the state of Indiana into the top tier of information technology and scientific research. The $10.1 million NSF award  -- "the Academy Award of supercomputing grants" ­-- shows that IU¹s strategy is working. The sustained commitments over 10 years from the state, the Lilly Endowment, and the university have combined to make IU a leader in IT and the life sciences. IU will lead partners in the $15-million FutureGrid project to test new approaches to parallel, grid, and cloud computing, which will open new avenues for research in medicine and the life sciences, and in scientific, commercial, and governmental collaboration and research.
