Creation of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers' Center Director's Handbook

该奖项为新泽西理工学院的工业/大学有害物质管理合作研究中心提供资金，用于一个名为“创建工业/大学合作研究中心主任手册”的项目。目前，I/UCRC主任唯一可以获得的提供业务指导的文件是一份10年前的27页文件，仅涉及中心业务的三个方面。访问委员会最近审查了I/UCRC计划，建议对该文件进行修订。将根据这项奖励编制的新手册将编纂和记录中心/UCRC参加者所获得的集体管理知识，并将这些知识转化为可操作的“艺术和科学”，以便更有效率和更有效地传达给中心主任。作者George Walters博士和Dennis Gray博士建议研究、开发和制作这样一本I/UCRC中心主任手册，其中包含了各种个人所拥有的经验和智慧，如NSF工作人员、中心主任和与I/UCRC项目相关的评估人员，贯穿项目的整个历史。手册将包括以下内容：1)导言；2)建议I/UCRC的政策、程序和/或做法；3)附录。项目主任建议新泽西理工学院获得68,000美元的奖励，为期18个月，以承担和完成I/UCRC中心主任手册。

This award provides funding to New Jersey Institute of Technology's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Hazardous Substance Management, for a project titled "Creation of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers' Center Director's Handbook." Currently the only document available to I/UCRC directors which provides operational guidance is a 10-year old, 27 page document that only addresses three aspects of center operations. The Committee of Visitors, which recently reviewed the I/UCRC program, recommended that this document be revised. The new handbook, to be produced under this award, will codify and document the collective managerial knowledge acquired by I/UCRC participants and translate this knowledge into operational "art and science" so that it can be communicated more efficiently and effectively to Center directors. The authors, Dr. George Walters and Dr. Dennis Gray, propose to research, develop and produce such a Handbook for I/UCRC Center Directors which incorporates the experience and wisdom possessed by a variety of individuals such as NSF staff, Center Directors, and Evaluators associated with the I/UCRC program throughout the history of the program. The Handbook will contain the following elements: 1) introduction; 2) recommended policies, procedures, and/or practices for an I/UCRC; and 3) appendices. The Program Director recommends that New Jersey Institute of Technology be awarded $68,000, for 18 months, to undertake and complete the I/UCRC Center Directors Handbook.
