I/UCRC Program
The Industry/University
Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRCs) program develops
long-term partnerships among industry, academe, and government. The centers
are catalyzed by a small investment from the National Science Foundation
(NSF) and are primarily supported by center members, with NSF taking a supporting
role in their development and evolution. I/UCRCs stimulate highly leveraged
industry/ university
cooperation by focusing on fundamental research recommended by Industrial
Advisory Boards.

Each
center is established to conduct research that is of interest to both the
industry and the university with which it is involved, with the provision
that the industry must provide major support to the center at all times.
The centers rely primarily on the involvement of graduate students in their
research projects, thus developing students who are knowledgeable in industrially
relevant research.
