Terms and conditions:

Microgrant Awards for Parallelism in the Classroom, Terms and Conditions The Academic Community provides an Educational Exchange website to allow academics to share materials which promotes the integration of concepts of parallelism into the classroom. The Microgrant Awards for Parallelism in the Classroom will encourage academics and their students to think about how applications scale, and utilize the resources available through the Academic Community, including Intel Software Development Tools Grants and the Intel® Manycore Testing Lab, to teach concepts around concurrency and create classroom course materials that demonstrate parallel programming. All materials submitted will be shared with the Intel® Academic Community through the Educational Exchange. Submissions for Awards will be reviewed monthly and criteria for any special awards or programs will be published at least 20 days in advance of submission deadlines. Proposals: Microgrant proposals include a general description of materials that can be used in the classroom to introduce concepts of parallelism into computer, computational science, and other relevant courses. Abstracts should have an explanation of how the material presented will help advance the teaching of parallelism to students. You will also be asked to provide information on tools, software products or libraries used, what course the material would be applied to, the class level, the end product and whether the material has been taught previously. Proposals must be written by the submitter, in English. Contributions may be original work, translations, adaptations or extensions of other known methods or techniques in the industry. Final course materials may be submitted in any language. To be considered, proposals must be received by midnight (U.S. Pacific Time) on the specified day of an active grant period. You may submit multiple proposals in any grant period. You may also revise and/or resubmit proposals in multiple grant periods.
