Full Center Proposal (Phase I) for an I/UCRC for Bioprocessing Research and Development 0832549 South Dakota School of Mines; David Dixon 0832554 University of Hawaii; Scott Turn 0832505 South Dakota State University; William Gibbons 0832498 North Carolina State University; Steven Peretti 0832522 Kansas State University; Mary Rezac 0832520 State University of New York, Stony Brook; Devinder Mahajan This proposal request seeks funding to establish a multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Bioprocessing Research and Development (CBRD). The proposed center is comprised of six universities, and is focused to make transformative discoveries to enable the lignocellulosic and fats and oil based bio-industries meet the challenges set forth by the US President, federal and state agencies and the American public. The research proposed is highly consistent with the USDA and DOE roadmaps and well integrated with the Sun Grant centers. The topic is timely and very crucial to the US, with strong academic and industry interest. The proposed research is highly interactive and multi-institutional, and has strong potential to be transformative through new discoveries. Universities participating in the proposed center have identified six initial research foci, and each of these focus areas will be addressed through numerous research projects. Additionally, the focus of the proposed center will be on activities that support and extend recent advances made by industrial partners.CBRD is positioned to make transformative discoveries that enable the lignocellulosic and oil and fats based bio-industries to meet the challenge of declining petroleum supply. The wide range of institutions and projects proposed present numerous mechanisms for broader impact. The proposed center will serve as an educational environment, to fill the workforce pipeline with engineers and scientists needed to make use of these opportunities. This center will also provide a network of information flow to the public sector: involve K-12 outreach activities and involvement from minority participation throughout the country. It Is anticipated that the center will have direct participation from tribal colleges and historically black colleges and universities. Technology transfer is well addressed in the center plan.

生物处理研究与开发I/UCRC完整中心提案(第一阶段)0832549南达科他州矿业学院；David Dixon 0832554夏威夷大学；Scott Turn 0832505南达科他州立大学；威廉·吉本斯0832498北卡罗来纳州立大学；Steven Peretti 0832522堪萨斯州立大学；Mary Rezac 0832520纽约州立大学石溪分校；Devinder Mahajan该提案申请资金建立一个多大学生物处理研究与开发产业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)。拟建的中心由六所大学组成，重点是做出革命性的发现，使木质纤维、脂肪和石油生物产业能够应对美国总统、联邦和州机构以及美国公众提出的挑战。建议的研究与美国农业部和美国能源部的路线图高度一致，并与太阳赠款中心很好地结合在一起。这一话题对美国来说是及时和非常关键的，具有强烈的学术和行业兴趣。拟议的研究是高度互动和多机构的，并具有通过新发现进行变革的强大潜力。参与拟建中心的大学已经确定了六个初步研究重点，每个重点领域都将通过众多研究项目加以解决。此外，拟建中心的重点将放在支持和扩展工业合作伙伴最近取得的进展的活动上。CBRD将做出革命性的发现，使木质纤维和基于石油和脂肪的生物产业能够应对石油供应下降的挑战。拟议的各种机构和项目提供了许多产生更广泛影响的机制。拟建的中心将作为一个教育环境，用来填补劳动力管道中利用这些机会所需的工程师和科学家。该中心还将向公共部门提供信息流网络：让全国各地的K-12外联活动和少数族裔的参与参与进来。预计该中心将有部落学院和历史上的黑人学院和大学直接参与。技术转让在中心计划中得到了很好的解决。
