OSU-Purdue Center for Tree Genetics

这项行动将硬木树改良和再生中心（HTIRC）与现有的国家科学基金会产业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），俄勒冈州立大学的树木基因工程研究合作组织（TGERC）结合起来。两个中心都有相同的目标：研究基因改良树木的技术，用于集约化管理的树木种植园。TGERC的目标、结构和政策都很完善，与HTIRC类似。随着联合中心的成立，联合年会将在一个地点召开；将召集一个单一的工业咨询委员会来作出商业决策；两个中心的成员将在出版物发布前收到通知，以行使他们对中心研究的知识产权选择权。每个中心将继续以基本自主的方式进行研究，包括项目的规划和执行；报告，包括年度报告；生命形式的实施及其讨论；申请其他拨款的建议；以及研究基金管理。

This action joins the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (HTIRC) with an existing National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC), the Tree Genetic Engineering Research Cooperative (TGERC) at Oregon State University. Both centers share the same goal: the study of technologies to genetically improve trees for use in intensively managed tree plantations. The objectives, structure, and policies of TGERC are well established, and similar to those of the HTIRC. With formation of the joint center joint annual meeting will convene at one site; a single Industrial Advisory Board will be convened to make business decisions; and members of both centers will be alerted prior to publication for exercise of their intellectual property options for research from the center. Research will continue to be conducted in a largely autonomous manner at each center, including the planning and execution of projects; reporting, including annual reports; implementation of LIFE forms and their discussion; proposals for other grant funding; and research fund management.
