Industry-University-Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) at Arizona State University

该奖项在亚利桑那州立大学州立大学的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）建立了一个研究基地，用于水质（WQC）。 该研究将侧重于与健康有关的应用水微生物学和环境工程。 总体目标是开展研究，以改善饮用水的质量，并调查影响饮用水供应质量的物理、化学和微生物过程。 此外，亚利桑那州立大学的IUCRC将为少数民族学生建立一个本科生培训计划。 一些地区市政当局和工业将组成一个工业联盟，为研究地点提供财政和智力支持。

This award establishes a research site at the Arizona State University of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Water Quality (WQC) located at the University of Arizona. The research will focus on applied health-related water microbiology and environmental engineering. The overall objective is to perform research to improve the quality of drinking water and investigate physical, chemical and microbial processes that affect the quality of potable water supplies. In addition, the IUCRC at Arizona State University will establish an undergraduate training program for the minority students. A number of area municipalities and industries will form an industrial consortium to provide financial and intellectual support of the research site.
