The ANRP is awarded for recent results in applied networking research that are relevant for transitioning into shipping Internet products and related standardization efforts. Researchers with relevant, recently published results are encouraged to apply for this prize, which will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers, network operators, policy makers and scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
 
Third-party nominations for this prize are also encouraged. 
 
The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of:
 
  • Cash prize of $500 (USD)
  • Invitation to talk at the IRTF Open Meeting
  • Travel grant to attend the week-long IETF meeting (airfare, hotel, registration, stipend)
  • Recognition at the IETF plenary
