*Subject: *Announcing the Microsoft Research Dissertation Grant



Broadening participation in computing is a core part of Microsoft's values;
accordingly, we are excited to introduce a new initiative, the Microsoft
Research Dissertation Grant, that aims to recognize, support, and mentor
diverse doctoral students as they complete their dissertation research in
computing-related fields.



This grant program is open to doctoral students in their fourth year or
beyond, studying computing topics at universities in the United States and
Canada, who are from under-represented groups (women,
African-American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaskan Native,
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and/or people with disabilities). The
program allows students to apply for a research grant of up to $20,000 to
support their dissertation research; grant recipients will also get to take
part in a two-day career workshop at Microsoft Research Redmond this fall.
Grant applications for 2017 will be due on *April 7*. You can read more
about the Microsoft Research Dissertation Grant and find application
instructions at http://aka.ms/msrgrant. Also, check out today’s blog
announcement
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/microsoft-research-dissertation-grant-support-underrepresented-groups-computing>
.



We hope that you will share information about this new program with members
of your organization who may be eligible to apply!



Sincerely,



Dr. Meredith Ringel Morris

Principal Researcher & MSR Dissertation Grant Chair
