Cisco University Research
• Research awards (every fall and spring)
$50-100K US
One year in length
Peer-reviewed competition
• No intellectual property constraints
• Communication is central goal
Standards Bodies
Academic Journals
Dialogue among Researchers and Engineers
Next application deadline is August 2005

23
URP Proposal and Grant Info
• Proposals
Solicited and unsolicited proposals twice per year
2 page proposals
Sample:
www.cisco.com/warp/public/750/aii/urp/sample.html
• Awards
1 year awards; renewable but in competition
Awards range $20K-$100K/year/project – average is
$70K; one investigator can have multiple projects
Next submission deadline is August 2005

24
URP Research Timeline
• Supporting 5+ year “risky” or challenging
research topics for 25% of awards
• Supporting 2-5 year out research topics with
strong Business Units interest for 75% of awards
• Under 15 months is transitions to CARD
Basic research explores the future of the Internet.

25
Cisco “Champions”
• Cisco Champions act as technical liaisons
between Cisco and funded researchers
• Interaction at each stage
Refine Draft
Review Proposal (lead among peer review)
Aid in Research
Drive Dissemination of Results
• Early deadline for proposals lacking champions
Communication is a critical success factor.

Areas for Research and
Development
• Design Principles
• Continued race between packet vs circuit (lambdas)
• Peering at all layers
• Intelligence and management
• Smart, self managing, self healing, self tuning
networks
• Secure, highly available, fault tolerant networks
• New Use
• Media convergence: data, voice, video
• Evolving edge: mobile, ubiquitous computing,
sensor nets, nano-technologies
Focus is future growth of the Internet.

“Bandwidth” and “degree of connectivity”
are the new measures of power…
Three distinguishing factors to harness power
• culture to exploit & share knowledge
• competitive setting that embraces change
• ability to partner
