Thank you for considering a gift to the Boston University Hariri Institute for Computing
Your Support Accelerates Research
The Hariri Institute for Computing is Boston University’s largest research center and a convergence accelerator at the forefront of AI, data science, and advanced computing. Our mission is to catalyze cross-disciplinary collaborations among researchers, enabling them to address important problems, make ground-breaking advances, build self-sustained research programs, and have lasting societal impact.
Our multidisciplinary community—consisting of 10 centers and initiatives along with a wide network of faculty affiliates, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers across Boston University—drives transformative research that addresses societal challenges and translates discovery into real-world impact. Our programs provide Boston University students and faculty with the tools and support they need to build a solid foundation for grant applications and more.
Donations allow us to enable interdisciplinary teams to fuse their diverse expertise and open up new avenues for research through our Focused Research Programs. They also support exceptional early-career faculty through our Junior Faculty Fellows (JFF) program, and doctoral students through our Graduate Student Fellows (GSF) program and the Data Science Mentoring Circles program. We also organize hundreds of events annually that bring our students and faculty affiliates together.
Your gift will enable us to continue working with one another to continue solving society’s most complex problems in healthcare, climate, cyber security, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cloud computing, and more. We also use funds to support student travel, conferences, and interdisciplinary research beyond typical computing avenues, including integration with humanities data science and student clubs. Since the inception of our programs, we have awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars to nominated junior faculty and graduate students to engage in research support activities where they wouldn’t have had access to funding.
We appreciate your support.
