This research provides performance metrics for cooperative research centers that enhance translational research through partnerships formed by government, industry and academia. Centers are part of complex ecosystems and vary greatly in the type of science conducted, organizational structures and expected outcomes. The ability to realize their objectives depends on transparent measurement systems to assist in decision making in research translation. This research introduces a hierarchical decision model that uses both quantitative and qualitative metrics. A generalizable model is developed based upon program goals. The results are validated through consultation with experts. The method is validated using data from the National Science Foundation's industry/university cooperative research centers (IUCRC). The methodology provides a basis for a generalizable model and measurement system that compares performance of university science and engineering focused research centers supported by industry and government.

这项研究为合作研究中心提供了绩效指标，这些中心通过政府，工业界和学术界形成的伙伴关系加强了转化研究。中心是复杂生态系统的一部分，在开展的科学类型、组织结构和预期成果方面差异很大。 实现其目标的能力取决于透明的测量系统，以协助研究翻译的决策。 本研究介绍了一个层次决策模型，同时使用定量和定性指标。一个可推广的模型开发的基础上计划的目标。通过与专家协商，对结果进行了验证。该方法是使用美国国家科学基金会的工业/大学合作研究中心（IUCRC）的数据进行验证。 该方法提供了一个可推广的模型和测量系统，比较由工业和政府支持的大学科学和工程为重点的研究中心的性能的基础。
