Grant funding is how many high performance computing cluster purchases are accomplished, and the grant proposal writing process is incredibly competitive.

For example, the National Science Foundation’s Major Research Instrumentation grant program received 811 grant proposals and awarded 205 grants in fiscal year 2015. That means last year, an MRI grant proposal had a 1 in 4 chance of success.

At Advanced Clustering Technologies, we have been helping customers complete their high performance computing grant proposals for more than 15 years. 

We are here to help you secure grant funding for your HPC needs as well. On this page we offer information about grant programs that provide funding for HPC.

We also encourage you to download our white paper on best practices for writing a grant proposal for HPC funding. This document is based on interviews with customers who have secured grant funding in the past.
