IUCRC Evaluator at CPAC and CADAR (Center for Analog/DigitalApplications Research)

这笔赠款的目的是为两个产学研合作研究中心的国家科学基金会(NSF)中心评估员提供为期三年、为期三年的直接资助。一个是位于华盛顿大学的过程分析化学中心(CPAC)。另一个是模拟/数字应用研究中心(Cadar)，这是一个联合中心，位于华盛顿州立大学和华盛顿大学的校园内。评估员将负责在每个中心实施NSF中心评估计划。这是一系列的三项相关研究，旨在确定可能有助于和/或阻碍实现每个中心的目标和结果的因素。三项基本研究包括：a)以年度历史概况更新的形式对每个中心的发展历史进行比较描述和分析；b)使用教员和赞助商成果评估调查工具对每个中心的组织效率进行中期和长期研究；以及C)对终止与任一中心的合作关系的任何行业赞助商进行离职面谈。首席研究员是一位公认的评估者，非常有资格在上述两个中心研究产学研互动。

The purpose of this grant is to provide direct funding, for a period of three years, of a three years, of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Center Evaluator at two Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers. One is the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry (CPAC) which is located at the University of Washington (UW). The other is the Center for Analog/Digital Applications Research (CADAR), a joint center which is located on the campuses of Washington State University and University of Washington. The evaluator will be responsible for implementation of the NSF Center Assessment Program at each of the centers. This is a series of three related studies designed to identify the factors that may contribute to and/or inhibit attainment of each center's goals and outcomes. Included among the three basic studies are: a) developing comparative descriptions and conducting analyses of each center's developmental history in the form of annual historical profile updates; b) conducting intermediate as well as long-term studies of each center's organizational effectiveness using faculty and sponsor outcome assessment survey instruments, and; c) conducting exit interviews of any industrial sponsor that terminates their affiliation with either center. The principal investigator is a recognized evaluator and eminently qualified to study the Industry/University Interaction at the above two center.
