- What is Oracle for Research?
Oracle for Research is a unique program, built to support the work of scientific researchers. Many of the people on our team have a background in research, and we have a deep understanding of the research process. At our core, we believe technology shouldn’t hinder research, and we’re here to help you navigate and, where possible, simplify the increasingly complex landscape surrounding computational research. We want to help you store, manage, and analyze your data to help you reach scientific results and conclusions faster.
- What are the benefits of Oracle for Research?
When researchers enrol in any of our award programmes, they receive dedicated, personalized technical support to help them get up and running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) so they can start accelerating their research in the cloud. Recipients of our Oracle for Research Project, Doctoral Project, and Fellows Program awards receive a range of additional benefits. These include a grant of Oracle Cloud credits, sized specifically to support the researcher’s project requirements, that can be used to access a variety of technology offerings, products, and services. We also offer opportunities to engage with our research-dedicated marketing team to promote research outputs and to meet other researchers within the program.
- Why would I want to use Oracle Cloud for my research rather than work with another cloud provider?
Other cloud providers may grant you credits you can put toward using their cloud, but that’s often the extent of their support. We partner with you to take you beyond the technology and walk step-by-step with you along the entire research journey. We offer a collaborative environment, and we’re truly invested in your research outputs and achievements—we want to see you succeed. With the exception of recipients of our Oracle for Research Cloud Starter Awards, award recipients can participate in scheduled, regular meetings with their dedicated research advocate and solutions architect to ensure they’re supported throughout their award period.
- How long will I benefit from the program?
The standard contract period for all our award programs is 12 months.
- Is my research data safe with you?
Data security is of the utmost importance to us. Whether you’re trying to keep your sensitive data secure in compliance with specific restrictions or protections, such as GDPR or HIPAA, or you need to keep your data within strict geographic boundaries, or you just want to make sure your data is safe, we meet your requirements. Oracle is a pre-eminent technology vendor; our cloud is designed with a security-first architecture. We prioritize data management and security, enabling you to run your mission-critical research workloads and store your data with confidence. For more information, please review our Privacy Policies.
- Does Oracle control intellectual property generated through research on OCI?
