Giving to TACC

Investing in People

The world-class capabilities at TACC have helped recruit nationally recognized faculty across colleges and departments at UT. The center has also recruited and developed top professional research staff with leading expertise in advanced computing, contributing to the university's reputation as a premier institution for computational science. Additional research and internship opportunities will help ensure that UT maintains its competitive edge:

• Fellowships in computational science will allow faculty and graduate students from UT and other universities to work at TACC, conducting research using center resources and collaborating on multidisciplinary projects.
• A visiting speakers fund will support up to six visiting speakers each year to come to UT and educate the campus community on topics that employ advanced computing technologies.
• A researchers-in-residence fund will attract top researchers from other universities and industry to work at TACC in short-term appointments on individual and joint research projects requiring advanced computing.
• Summer internships for graduate and undergraduate students will allow talented students to gain experience working with advanced computing technologies. Students will assist with research and development of applications and software that support computational science.
