Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program: The Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) 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 industry center members, with NSF taking a supporting role in the development and evolution of the center. Each center is established to conduct research that is of interest to both the industry members and the center faculty. An I/UCRC contributes to the nation's research infrastructure base and enhances the intellectual capacity of the engineering and science workforce through the integration of research and education. As appropriate, an I/UCRC uses international collaborations to advance these goals within the global context.

Additional Information on Eligibility
*Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following:
-Only U.S. academic institutions with graduate research programs may apply. Please see below for details on organizational eligibility information including:
- Research and graduate program requirements, and
- Letter of intent, planning grant, and full center proposal requirements.

*PI Limit:
The PI at any institution participating in an I/UCRC proposal must be a tenured faculty member. Waivers may be requested when petitioned by the PI's supervisor (Chairman of the Department or the Dean). In addition, the center or site director must be the PI. PIs with an active award for any NSF I/UCRC research center are not eligible to apply for another Phase I award.

Awardees of planning grants to establish new centers must complete their planning grant workshops (with NSF Program Director representation) before submitting full proposals.

Eligibility to submit a full proposal to establish a new center is dependent upon the PI completing one of the following (this does not apply to joining established centers) activities:
