  1. Managing the University Center Interface Facilitator, Denis Ray

  2. Maintaining upper university management support • Take Alex and IAB officers to visit • Report successes • Invite to IAB meetings • Point out value of IUCRC membership • Industry contacts for other research • Favorable visibility for university • Places for student internships, coops, jobs • Research support; leveraging • Minimize their (and your) hassle factors by keeping contacts positive, and few in number

  3. Pre-existing “interesting” interactions among top managers • See how other centers at the institution work with top managers • Try to get as much control over agreements, financial transactions, etc. as possible • Initially, get the necessary “rules of the road” (such as cost sharing) agreed among everyone • Keep the cost sharing agreement off their radar screen

  4. Unique lead university issues • Director represents multiple universities, not just the lead university • What’s good for the Center may not be the best for the lead university itself. • IUCRC policy decisions must follow agreed on Center processes. • Higher need for administrative support • Keeping sponsored programs “legalisms” (i.e., “just say no” attitude) from getting in the way of relationship marketing.
