I am a student researcher at a US university and I asked(including the research proposal) if they have any special pricing for us. Every time I asked - I was told that my application was under review, but I never heard any verdict. We finally finished our project without actually testing it on a headset. Here is the paper we've published: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8500085

If anybody for Oculus is here, can you please tell me what is the proper was of requesting research hardware?
