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. HTIRC is vertically integrated with molecular and classical geneticists, tree physiologists, silviculturalists, and nursery and regeneration specialists. The strength is the ability to perform basic, applies, and developmental research so the genetic knowledge that is created will be delivered to industrial and private landowners in value-added products rather than knowledge that benefits only the scientific community.

这项行动加入了硬木树改良和再生中心(HTIRC)和现有的国家科学基金会产业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)，即俄勒冈州立大学的树木基因工程研究合作社(TGERC)。这两个中心都有一个共同的目标：研究从基因上改良树木的技术，以便用于集约化管理的树木种植园。TGERC的目标、结构和政策都是既定的，与HTIRC相似。HTIRC与分子和经典遗传学家、树木生理学家、森林培育学家以及苗圃和再生专家进行垂直整合。优势在于进行基础、应用和发展研究的能力，因此创造的遗传知识将以增值产品的形式提供给工业和私人土地所有者，而不是只造福于科学界的知识。
