Microsoft Research is proud to support the US-wide National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs (BD Hubs) program by awarding $3M in Microsoft Azure cloud computing credits.

“Today’s science and engineering enterprise is increasingly dependent on the ability to store, share, and analyze various types and enormous amounts of data,” said Jim Kurose, assistant director of NSF for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, which leads the program. “Cloud computing helps make this possible, and Microsoft’s contribution of Azure credits will allow the BD Hubs’ communities to make additional impacts on science and society.”
