HP Labs' Innovation Research Program (IRP) is designed to create opportunities at colleges, universities and research institutes around the world for collaborative research with HP. Awards made through the IRP are primarily intended to provide financial support for a graduate student to
assist the Principal Investigator in conducting a collaborative research project with HP Labs.
In order to streamline the process for participants, the 2012 IRP Call for Proposals will have two phases:
First Round: Applicants are invited to prepare and submit a short abstract of their research proposal. HP Labs will review the abstracts received and select a number to participate in the second round. All applicants will be notified at the end of the first round of the outcome of the review.
Second Round: The authors of successful abstracts will be invited to submit a full version of their proposal for consideration. The invitation to participate in the second round will include details of the HP Labs Innovation Research Program Collaborative Research Agreement (CRA). Please see Collaborative Research Agreement below.
Final award selection from the invited proposals will be competitive, and it is unlikely that all will be awarded funding.
