Normally, an FRP involves a group of faculty members from more than one unit and is intended to provide start-up support for coordinated research projects that have the potential to develop into research centers within one to two years.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Bader coordinated the proposal entitled \u0026quot;Focused Research Program in High-Performance Computing\u0026quot; on behalf of researchers in the College of Computing, the College of Engineering and the College of Sciences.
