Industry / University Cooperative Research Centers

I/UCRC Research History in NSF1972 Presidential Initiatives; e.g. Industrial Affiliates, Industrial R&D

Incentive Program.

1976 NSF Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) started.

1978 Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers program started.President’s domestic policy review of industrial innovation.

1980 Stevenson-Wydler Innovation Act of 1980Uniform Federal Patent Policy Act of 1980Justice Department’s Anti Trust Guide

1982 Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982

1984 Engineering Research Centers program started.

1985 National Cooperative Research Act of 1985

1988 Science and Technology Centers program started.

2006 I/UCRC program has grown to about 40 centers and over 100 universities

Evolution of CentersSingle discipline centersMulti-discipline centersSome researchers from other

universities

Multi-university centersWhy? The expanding research base has become necessary to be able to respond to industries broad interests and to be more competitive on a national and international basis.

Win-WinFor the academic community, an

I/UCRC:

• stable funding source for research

• exposes the academic community to the ‘real world’

•establishes a meaningful research focus -- industrially-relevant fundamental

• provides support for research and students

For industry, an I/UCRC:

• provides an avenue to investigate a topic which may otherwise not be done

• accomplishes research at a fraction of the cost

• allows an industry to utilize the talents and resources of a university

• vehicle for changing the university culture: multidisciplinary; strategic fundamental

• provides an excellent recruiting tool for building the future of the company

Funding FormulaFirst five years

lead university receives $70K+$10K for each additional university

partnering universities receive $50K-$70K1 eachSecond five years

lead university receives $35K+$10K for each additional university +$8K for evaluatorpartnering universities receive $25K-$35K3+$5K2 each

Notes:1. Funding level depends upon industrial membership level ($150K-$300K)2. For evaluator, $8K first site, $5K second site, $3K third site, $0K additional

sites3. Note: REU’s, graduate fellowships, faculty fellowships, TIE awards,

international, etc., are in addition to the base amounts above.

Input/Feedback The Level of Interest/Feedback Evaluation (LIFE)

process is an essential component of the I/UCRC that provides a simple, efficient method to assist with the selection, guidance, and direction of projects in the center.

The LIFE process ensures quality and stimulates continued interest in the program.

LIFE Forms are distributed andcollected after each technicalpresentation during the semiannual meetings.

Level Of Interest Feedback Evaluation (LIFE)

To facilitate scientific and technical interaction between Center Faculty and Industrial Member Representative, each company represented is requested to rank their company’s level of interest and the research relevancy of each presentation. Please mark an X below to reflect the opinion of your company.

Level of Interest:

_____ Very Interested______ Interested______ Interested with Change______ Not Interested______ Abstain
