Every year the External Research & Programs group
selects five Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellows
from a pool of approximately 100 individuals
nominated by universities across the United States
and Canada. The New Faculty Fellows are each awarded
a $200,000 (USD) gift to stimulate creative
research in their respective fields. Microsoft
Research New Faculty Fellows have full freedom to
use the funds to advance their research agendas.

“The caliber of the Microsoft Research New
Faculty Fellows is simply stunning. They have
already obtained significant results. The
clarity of their vision and the scope of their
research demonstrate their potential for future
leadership in the field of computing.”
— Sailesh Chutani, director of External
Research & Programs
