To support efforts at Universities that focus on teaching, research, or
community building around Apache UIMA, IBM has announced the UIMA
Innovation Grant program for 2007.
This is a world-wide program, with awards in the $10,000 to $30,000
range. For details and information on how to submit proposals, please
visit
http://www.ibm.com/university and click on the link "Award
Opportunity" in the middle section of the page (in the top right
quadrant), and then scroll down to IBM Innovation Awards in the
Competitions section. Or you can just click on this link:

The deadline for initiating proposals is in about 2
weeks, and the deadline for submitting proposals is about 3 weeks away.
This was announced earlier on the Apache "community" mailing list, and
elsewhere, but I thought
it might also be of interest to some on this mailing list, of course, and
regret that I did not post this earlier, here. Please note that you
have to be
a full time faculty member at a University in order to submit proposals;
if you are not, but are
in contact with someone who is, who might be interested, please let them
know of it also.
