Steps to qualify
01Let us know you’re interested
Contact us to let us know you’re interested in hosting a one-day UK Doctoral Outreach and Training Initiative (DOTI) session. This cloud basics training session is for a group of 10 to 30 students. You must attend one of these sessions to qualify for a Doctoral Project Award.
02Attend a DOTI session
Each participant is preregistered for an Oracle for Research Cloud Starter Award to use when attending the training session—and for further experimentation. Attendees will be eligible to apply for a Doctoral Project Award after completing the session.
03Receive follow-up documentation
Documentation will be emailed within one to two days following the session. It will include a link to the application, OCI learning resources, material from the session, and additional award details.
04Apply for the award
If you’ve attended a DOTI session and are interested in applying for the award, please fill out the Doctoral Project Award application form (DOC) and email us your completed application.
“Having been a PhD student myself, I can attest to how useful Oracle Cloud Infrastructure HPC compute and storage was throughout the course of my research in the field of earth sciences. With the introduction of Doctoral Project Awards, we’re flattening the learning curve for cloud usage in research and arming doctoral students with the tools they need both now and in the future.”
