IBM Faculty Awards
Supporting research and innovation
IBM Faculty Awards Recipients
For decades, the IBM Shared University Research Awards and the IBM Faculty Awards have been a world-wide monetary, hardware, software, and services program that promoted research and innovation in areas of strategic, mutual interest between IBM and universities.
The IBM Faculty Award and the IBM Shared University Research Award were blended into a single focus. The refreshed IBM Global University Program Academic Award propels IBM nominators, faculty, and universities to collaboratively develop responsive and concise Award applications for the emerging technologies of today. IBM Global University Programs Awards will continue to promote collaborative research projects that advance science and share the outcomes of those projects with the technology community and the world.
Our thanks for participating in this program goes out to the IBM Faculty and IBM Shared University Award recipients. And to the IBM Faculty Awards recipients, IBM Global University Programs offers its congratulations. And to the IBM Global University Program Academic Award recipients in-the-making, IBM looks forward to your collaboration and engagement.

IBM SUR Awards Recipients
The IBM Shared University Research (SUR) Awards have been a world-wide monetary, hardware, software, and services program that promoted research and innovation in areas of strategic mutual interest between IBM and Universities.
The IBM SUR Awards program connected universities with IBM in organizations such as IBM Research, IBM Cloud, IBM Systems, and IBM Global Services – including IBM’s development and product labs. The program aimed at supporting an area of significant interest to the university and IBM. These programs promoted collaborative research projects bringing value to IBM, the technology community, and the world.
In 2020, the IBM Faculty Award (FA) and the IBM Shared University Research (SUR) Award have been blended into an IBM Faculty Award allowing nominators to express and develop more responsive Award applications that concentrate on methods, collaboration, and sharing of outcomes.
Thirty IBM Shared University Awards were given throughout the world 2018-2019. These awards consisted of high performance computing configurations; AI optimization projects; longitudinal environmental studies; the creation of a Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Center; and major contributions to the OpenPowerCenter around Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Centric Visualization, and Accelerated Cognitive Cybersecurity.
IBM Faculty Awards Recipients
The IBM Faculty Awards have fostered collaboration between researchers at leading universities with those in IBM that share their expertise. The program ‘s impact ranged from the funding of emerging areas of science and technology to supporting curriculum development that stimulated growth in disciplines and technologies that were strategic to IBM. This work continues today in the IBM Global University Program Academic Award.
In 2020, the IBM Faculty Award (FA) and the IBM Shared University Research (SUR) Award have been blended into an IBM Faculty Award allowing nominators to express and develop more responsive Award applications that concentrate on methods, collaboration, and sharing of outcomes.

Since the early 2000s, the IBM Global University Open Collaboration Research (OCR) Award program promoted the development of open source software and related industry standards. The program proved true to its original mission; over the years, it provided the seedbed for deep collaboration between IBM and university participants to develop and release source code that would be openly shared and maintained by developer communities.
The best practices around Open Source are now so ingrained in information technology and the university sector that IBM has sunset this award. Many thanks to all of the participants that made this concept so successful.
