3. Mission: To contribute to the nation’s research infrastructure base bydeveloping long-term partnerships among industry, academe and government To leverage NSF funds with industry to support graduate students performing industrially relevant research Vision: To expand the innovation capacity of our nation’s competitive workforcethrough partnerships between industries and universities Over 30 years of fostering long-term trusted relationships between Industry and academe based on shared value The Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) Program

4. I/UCRC Approach • Provide the framework for industry to realize ongoing value from university fundamental research • NSF Seeds Activity, Centers succeed based on value they provide to their members, faculty. EVOLUTION RESEARCH PORTFOLIO FUNDING Academic sites, members, sectors served may evolve in time Cooperatively Defined, Sector Precompetitive Research Industry, Agency $ NSF Solicitation outlines partnership parameters Shared Intellectual Property Cooperative Operation University (Indirect reduction) NSF $
