In 1988, the Packard Foundation established the Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering<\/a> to allow the nation\u2019s most promising professors to pursue science and engineering research early in their careers with few funding restrictions and limited reporting requirements. The program arose out of David Packard\u2019s commitment to strengthening university-based science and engineering programs in recognition that the success of the Hewlett-Packard Company, which he cofounded, derived in large measure from the research and development in university laboratories.<\/p>\n
