Our university partnerships are vital to the success of the Draper Scholars Program. We value our university partners and work alongside them to make sure our Scholars are receiving the best experience. Often, university leaders are a potential Scholar’s first touch point when deciding where to conduct their research.

If you are a university staff member interested in this program for a student, please email us at [email protected]. We are happy to discuss potential research topics of shared interest to our organizations.  

Draper / University Collaborative Research Proposal

Draper is an independent, not-for-profit corporation, chartered to work on problems in the national interest. Draper is seeking collaborative research partners from our university partners to further the state of the art in key technologies of mutual interest. Research whitepapers describing Draper’s technology interests and technical points of contact can be found on the Draper research topics page. All technical points of contacts are Draper employees. If interested please reach out and they will work with our education office to submit a Collaborative Research Proposal form.

An example of the form is below for your knowledge. Research Proposals are due December 15, 2023.
