Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program (I/UCRC)
NSF 09-565
URL for complete guidelines: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2009/nsf09565/nsf09565.htm
Brief Description:
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 not only 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, but also encourages and fosters international cooperation and collaborative projects.

Grantee institutions that have an active single university I/UCRC award are not eligible to apply for another single university center; however, they may apply for a multi-university center. (IU does not have an I/UCRC, therefore IU is still eligible to apply for a single a university center)
Any institution may submit multiple multi-university center proposals provided that the proposed research topics involve different disciplines and support different industries.
