The I/UCRC for Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Integrated Microfluidics intends emphasize design-oriented research that anticipates the need for cost-effective manufacture and practical deployment. The center plans to undertake a simultaneous, broad-front integrated strategy that seeks breakthroughs at the interfaces of the thrust areas in material science, material processing, biology, chemistry, device design, electronics, and component integration. Proactive emphasis on volume production and on-chip interfaces to existing communications infrastructure are new research priorities for microfluidics prototypes. These considerations early in the research and design cycle are viewed as key to transitioning technologies out of academic laboratories and into the manufacturing sector for societal benefit.The I/UCRC for Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Integrated Microfluidics employ competitive recruitment mechanisms and attractive cross-disciplinary collaborative graduate research opportunities to engage excellent students, including members of underrepresented groups. In addition to publications in archival journals and conference proceedings, knowledge dissemination includes an open-source "microfluidic function library" containing design specifications for microfluidic "circuits" and interchangeable components organized by application and chip manufacturing processes. Scalable prototyping processesalso will be targeted for dissemination to academia and industry, including established companies and entrepreneurs, with the goal of dramatically shortening the idea-to-product process.

集成微流体先进设计和制造的I/UCRC旨在强调以设计为导向的研究，预计需要具有成本效益的制造和实际部署。 该中心计划采取同步的，广泛的综合战略，在材料科学，材料加工，生物，化学，器件设计，电子和组件集成的推力领域的接口寻求突破。积极强调批量生产和现有通信基础设施的片上接口是微流体原型的新研究重点。在研究和设计周期的早期这些考虑因素被视为将技术从学术实验室转移到制造业以实现社会效益的关键I/UCRC先进设计和集成微流体制造采用竞争性招聘机制和有吸引力的跨学科合作研究生研究机会，以吸引优秀学生，包括代表性不足的群体成员。除了在档案期刊和会议论文集上发表文章外，知识传播还包括一个开放源代码的“微流体功能库”，其中包含按应用和芯片制造工艺组织的微流体“回路”和可互换组件的设计规格。可扩展的原型流程也将被传播到学术界和工业界，包括成熟的公司和企业家，目标是大大缩短想法到产品的过程。
