Proposal for Establishment of a IUCR Co-Center for Engineering Tribology

该项目为佐治亚理工学院的一次规划会议提供资金，以确定它是否能够产生足够的产业支持，以成为西北大学工程摩擦学产业/大学合作研究中心的一所合作大学。初步研究表明，佐治亚理工学院的研究和工业支持将是协同的，并加强中心的研究基础和支持。NSF表面工程和摩擦学项目主任Jorn Larsen-Basse博士建议为该项目提供资金。项目主任建议为这次规划会议向佐治亚理工学院奖励1万美元，为期一年。

This project provides funds for a planning meeting for Georgia Institute of Technology to determine if it can generate sufficient industrial support to become a collaborative university in Northwestern University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Engineering Tribology. Preliminary studies indicate that Georgia Institute of Technology's research and industrial support would be synergistic and enhance the Center's research base and support. Dr. Jorn Larsen-Basse, Program Director of the Surface Engineering and Tribology Program at NSF recommends the project be funded. The Program Director recommends Georgia Institute of Technology be awarded $10,000 for one year for this planning meeting.
