A Few I/UCRC Success Stories(Center Involvement)
• I/UCRC Impacts: FY 2012
Spin-offs (3 centers; 1 ENG & 2 CISE)
Technology Transfers & Impacts
1 ENG center alone reported three technology transfer impacts/success stories
A member company of another ENG center currently implementing a process that could result in over $1M cost savings per year
1 CISE center alone reported cost savings (by having the center execute the projects rather than doing them in-house) by various member organizations
Many others…

A Few I/UCRC Success Stories(Center Involvement)
• REVs Cliff Chen, BU (CBSS); currently working on a Masters of
Electrical Engineering; “ the REV program has played a large part in easing my transition back to academia.”
Joshua Gatlin, UARK (GRAPES); will complete BS in EE; “ I would strongly suggest this program to future veteran students in a science and technology field of study, and I am fully confident the next group at the U of A awarded the REV will be just as grateful for the opportunity as I am today.”
Gordon Grant, VT (CenTIRE); majoring in ME; “the ability to be in this real world problem solving position where your job is not on the line and you are able to seek assistance if needed is a great way to expand ones knowledge and solution solving process.”

Predictive Results Summary
• Centers with more students hired by member firms are more likely to continue to operate on average
• Centers funded for longer periods by NSF, with fewer director turnovers, more members, and who graduate from NSF support during a time of economic growth are more likely to continue to operate over time

MIPR and Interagency Funding
• Simply ask agencies to visito www.nsf.gov/eng/iip/iucrc/mipr.jsp for detail
• Means for recruiting federal government agencies as center members
• Handles problems for agencies to seek sole source justifications
• Agencies do not need to sign membership agreement
• Can be as simple as submitting a procurement document for agency
• NSF is authorized to deduct 6.31% (based on the total transaction) for administrative cost recovery.

International Collaboration• Plan to interact with the foreign research site & description of the proposed research
project(s)
• Evidence that the international site will have the money for research;
• Description of the infrastructure that is in place to enable collaboration
• Formal (signed) agreement between the foreign and U.S.-based site that replicates the provisions for IP, copyrights, publication delays, and similar issues identified in the U.S.-based center membership agreement; and
• Letter from the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) that endorses the international collaboration and proposed research projects.
• Mutual benefits, true intellectual collaboration with the foreign partner(s), benefits to be realized from the expertise and specialized skills, facilities, sites and/or resources of the international counterpart, and active research engagement of U. S. students and early-career researchers, where such individuals are engaged in the research.
• The US research site may receive a $25,000 supplement annually for international collaborations; these funds are to be used for expenses related to the international collaboration including site director(s) and evaluator international travel, and support for research visits by U. S. students and junior researchers. No NSF funds are to be used by non U.S. participants
