Planning Grant for a Textile Industry/University Cooperative Research Center

纺织业受到来自国外竞争的严重压力。工业界正在认识到，研究可能有助于缓解这种压力。一个纺织工业/大学合作研究中心可能提供一些帮助。克莱姆森大学建议研究建立这样一个中心的可行性和可行性。该奖项旨在研究大学研究项目中工业利益的组织和政策选择，以及形成工业/大学合作研究中心的潜力。联合首席研究员及其同事具备进行这项计划所需的专业知识和业界参与。这项研究由关键工程系统部项目主任Tapan Mukherjee博士协调。项目经理建议克莱姆森大学获得25,000美元的计划补助金，用于一(1)年的学习。未来的所有奖项都将以新的提案为基础。

The textile industry is under severe pressure from foreign competition. Industry is recognizing that research may help lead the way to alleviate some of this pressure. An Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Textiles offers the potential to provide some help. Clemson University proposes to study the feasibility and viability of establishing such a Center. This award is to study the organizational and policy alternatives of the industrial interests in university research projects, and the potential to form an Industry/university Cooperative Research Center. The Co-Principal Investigators and their colleagues have the necessary expertise and industrial involvement to undertake this project. This study has been coordinated with Dr. Tapan Mukherjee, Program Director, Division of Critical Engineering Systems. The Program Manager recommends that Clemson University be awarded a $25,000 planning grant for a one (1) year study. All future awards are to be on the basis of a new proposal.
