HP Labs Innovation Research Program
Collaborative Research With HP
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. Through an annual, open Call for Proposals (CfP), we solicit your best ideas on a range of targeted research topics with the goal of establishing new research collaborations. Proposals are reviewed by HP Labs scientists and selected to receive funding awards based on their alignment with the chosen research topic and expected impact of the proposed research.
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. Awards provide cash support for one year, typically in the range USD $50,000 - $75,000 inclusive of overheads, renewable up to a maximum of three years at HP's discretion.
Educators interested in HP’s Social Innovation in Education programs should visit HP Global Social Innovation for more information.

Program Guidelines
The 2012 call for proposals has two rounds. Abstracts submitted in the first round are being reviewed, and authors will be notified of decisions from the end of February. Selected authors will be invited to develop and submit a full proposal in the second round.
Authors submitting full proposals will be required to confirm their institution's acceptance of the terms of the HP Labs Innovation Research Program. Full details will be provided with the invitation to take part in the second round.
Award decisions will be communicated to program participants from late April 2012 after full proposals have been reviewed.
Researchers who received an award in 2011 will be contacted by HP Labs in March 2012 regarding renewal of funding and should not re-submit their proposal through the call.
For further details please refer to the IRP 2012 Guide.
