CS+X Grant

Applications are open

Description

The CS+X awards project proposals with $1k – $7K of financial support by juried application. CS+X aims to catalyze innovation through collaborative projects involving advanced computation technologies, with a focus on novel and creative applications in disciplines outside of mainstream computer science. These projects should expand creatively on the possibilities found at the intersection of the disciplines studied here at Carnegie Mellon University. The X in “CS + X” refers to these disciplines, which include the Arts, Humanities and beyond.

Eligibility

We highly recommend discuss your proposal with Thomas Cortina!

We accept applications for creative projects by teams composed of currently enrolled SCS students + “X”, aka students from programs outside of SCS.

Funded projects can resubmit for additional funding once, with each project eligible for a max of two rounds of funding. Second round funding applications must describe new objectives for the project and are not eligible if the request is based solely on under-budgeting in the first round. Example: the first round of funding produces a prototype and the second round produces a final and fully functional product.

 

Jury

The jury will be composed of CMU faculty familiar with CS research, that is to say – not exclusively SCS faculty. The Director of the STUDIO will participate as a member of the jury to ensure the projects are within the scope of support offered by the STUDIO.
