This grant will be used to purchase IBM equipment in support for the Research Grid for Computational Medicine in Cardiovascular Applications (CardioVascular Research Grid CVRG) project. This award is being funded by IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences as a joint research project between the Institute for Computational Medicine and IBM.

This grant recognizes the high quality of the research and educational programs being pursued at Johns Hopkins. The IBM SUR program provides equipment to universities in order to promote collaborative research in areas of mutual interest, and strives to establish or strengthen long term relationships between university faculty/personnel and the IBM research, development and solutions provider communities.
