- Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)
Partnering Industries and Universities to Innovate
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. More information about the I/UCRC program.
