The Department of Education is accepting applications for $7.9 million in grant funding for the Modeling and Simulation Program, which is designed to “promote the study of modeling and simulation at institutions of higher education through collaboration with new and existing programs, and specifically to promote the use of technology through the creation of accurate models that can simulate processes or recreate real life.”  

Applications are due June 23, for an estimated 8 grants to be funded between $990,000 and $1.15 million.

For priority consideration, institutions must either be enhancing an existing modeling and simulation program at an institution of higher education or establishing such a program.
