The HP Labs 2012 Innovation Research Program (IRP) is designed to create opportunities - at colleges, universities and research institutes around the world - for advanced collaborative research with HP. Awards under the IRP are primarily intended to provide financial support for a graduate student to assist the Principal Investigator conducting a collaborative research project with HP Labs. HP Labs is seeking compelling projects in a variety of areas that reflect HP's broad industry presence and research themes. The research topics for the 2012 IRP Call for Proposals are available in these areas of study: Cloud & Security, Information Analytics, Intelligent Infrastructure, Mobile and Immersive Experience, Nanoelectronics, Printing and Content Delivery, Services Research, Social Computing, and Sustainable Ecosystems. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Social Science Research Council and Mellon Foundation -Transregional Research: Inter-Asian Contexts and Connections</span></i></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>Deadline<b>:</b> February 13, 2012 <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The new postdoctoral fellowship program for junior scholars is designed to strengthen the understanding of issues and geographies that do not fit neatly into existing divisions of academia or the world. The fellowships will help junior scholars (those at the postdoctoral stage, one to seven years out of the Ph.D.) complete first books and/or undertake second projects. In addition to funding research, the program will create networks and shared resources to support fellows well beyond the grant period. The intellectual thrust of the pilot project will be the re-conceptualization of Asia as an interlinked historical and geographic formation stretching from the Middle East through Eurasia, Central Asia, and South Asia to Southeast Asia and East Asia. Proposals submitted for the fellowship competition should bear upon processes that connect places and peoples (such as migration, media, and resource flows) as well as those that reconfigure local and trans-local contexts (such as shifting borders, urbanization, and social movements). The broad focus of the program is intended to advance transregional research as well as to establish structures for linking scholars across disciplines in the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>For more information: </span><a href="http://foundationcenter.org/pnd/rfp/rfp_item.jhtml?id=366100051"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>http://foundationcenter.org/pnd/rfp/rfp_item.jhtml?id=366100051</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation-Pediatric Cancer Research Fellowship</span></i></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br></span><span class=bodysmall><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Deadline<b>:</b> March 15, 2012 </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The program will provide funding to basic scientists and clinicians for research with the potential to significantly impact the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of one or more pediatric cancers.
