 The HP Labs Innovation Research Program is designed to create opportunities -- at colleges, universities and research institutes around the world -- for breakthrough collaborative research with HP. Through this open and competitive Call for Proposals, we are soliciting your best ideas on a range of topics with the goal of establishing new research collaborations.
Full program guidelines are detailed below in the Innovation Research Program Request for Proposals, along with other important program documents and links:
The 2008 research topics are summarized in the Request for Proposals document, and full descriptions are available for download here. Proposals will be solicited in line with these topics on a geographic basis, and fall within five broad research themes:
- Information explosion: Acquiring, analyzing and delivering the right information to individuals and businesses so they can act on it
- Dynamic cloud services : Developing web platforms and cloud services that are dynamically personalized based on your location, preferences, calendar and communities
- Content transformation : Enabling the fluid transformation of content from analog to digital, from device to device, and from digital content to physical products
- Intelligent infrastructure : Designing smarter, more secure computing devices, networks and architectures that work together to connect individuals and businesses to rich, dynamic content and services
- Sustainability : Creating technologies, IT infrastructure, and new business models for the low-carbon economy that save money and leave a lighter footprint on the world
Awards under the HP Labs Innovation Research Program will consist of cash support for one year in the USD $50,000 to $75,000 range, including any overhead. A key element of each award will be on-campus support for one graduate-student researcher.
