Supporting new and early-career faculty is one of our key missions. The Propel Research Mentorship Program provides participating faculty nine months of face-to-face intensive mentorship, education, editing support and more as they plan, draft, finalize and submit a proposal for a federal grant from either the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The Research Computing program (RC) works with researchers to improve their project performance and secure computing resources not only at the university level but beyond, to National Labs and other high profile HPC resources (e.g., Hyperion High Performance Computing (HPC) supercomputer cluster, the Linux computing environment, machine learning and deep learning, scientific computing programming languages, and quantum computing.
The vision for Propel AI includes faculty from all USC colleges, with an emphasis on the arts, humanities and professional colleges like law and business. By including faculty from a broad array of disciplines, we aim to foster creativity and collaboration among faculty as you learn together how to make AI your partner in scholarship of all kinds, not just scientific research. This program is in development in the Office of Research.
