How do I contact someone within IBM to submit a Faculty Award request?
It is recommended that you contact IBM employees you have an existing relationship with from the Research, Development, or Services organizations. In most cases, such a relationship provides a good basis for developing a common interest for research collaboration or curriculum development. If your IBM contact is not familiar with the Faculty Awards program, he or she can access information via the IBM intranet.
