Agilent Supports University Research

Agilent contributes measurement expertise, products, and financial support to research in our fields of endeavor. These connections with the research community help inform our product development efforts, educate the next generation of employees and customers, and generate insights that advance science understanding while enabling important applications of measurement technologies.

Research Partnerships with Agilent

Connections with Agilent are fostered through interactions at technical conferences, discussions with our Field personnel, and targeted inquiries to University Relations. These connections aid in generating research proposals beneficial to both parties. University Relations funds research projects through a competitive review process. Principal Investigators will work with an Agilent Sponsor to submit a proposal that aligns with Agilent's areas of interest. In broadest terms, review categories include:

  • Separation Sciences/Sample Prep
  • Mass Spectrometry
  • Spectroscopy/ICP-MS
  • Cell Analysis
  • Diagnostics and Pathology
  • Computational Sciences and Informatics
  • Genomics and Bioreagents
  • Emerging Technologies, Applications, and Other Topics

Proposals

Proposals are generated by university faculty in consultation with an Agilent Sponsor and are selected based on evaluation criteria including:

  • Relevance to enhancing Agilent’s platform technologies or expanding applications of Agilent products;
  • Innovation and potential for discovery;
  • Scientific impact and expected contribution of insights to Agilent's future pursuits.

University Visits

Agilent welcomes opportunities to engage with universities during major institutional initiatives that align with our areas of interest to explore potential collaborations. We also host guest lectures when faculty members are traveling near our research sites, the largest of which are in Santa Clara, California; Wilmington, Delaware; and Waldbronn, Germany. If you believe a visit would be mutually beneficial, please reach out to us at university_relations@agilent.com.
