HP Labs Innovation Research Program

HP Labs is proud to announce the winners of the 2009 Innovation Research Awards.

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 an annual, open Call for Proposals, we solicit your best ideas on a range of topics with the goal of establishing new research collaborations. Proposals will be invited against targeted IRP Research Topics when the next call is announced, and will be accepted via an online submission tool. They will be reviewed by HP Labs scientists for alignment with the selected research topic and impact of the proposed research. Details of the 2010 Innovation Research Program will be announced in late 2009.

Awards under the 2009 HP Labs Innovation Research Program are primarily intended to provide financial support for a graduate student to assist the Principal Investigator conducting a collaborative research project with HP Labs. Consequently, awards will provide cash support for one year in the range of USD $50,000 to $75,000, including any overhead.

Information on the 2009 HP Labs Innovation Research Award recipients can be found here, including a detailed list of the selected professors and projects.
