Submission deadline for pre-proposals for BP-MIT Research Program:
August 4, 2008

July 2, 2008

MIT and BP have signed a research agreement to conduct research relevant to major projects in the oil, gas, renewable energy, chemicals and related energy industries.

While major projects are a very broad domain, the BP-MIT research program seeks proposals that employ integrative, multidisciplinary approaches to address the complex, multifaceted challenges in the selection, design, development and delivery of major projects, or address specific technologies and methodologies related to projects.

In 2008, the research program will also consider proposals focused on operations-related research that will improve BP's business delivery.

As has been the case since 2005, there will be one proposal review
cycle in 2008. Proposals between $50K and $250K (inclusive of F&A) are being considered.

Pre-proposals for consideration in the 2008 cycle must be submitted electronically no later than 5:00 PM on Monday August 4, 2008. Please use the BP-MIT cover sheet.
