9312547 Bekey该奖项为南加州大学制造与自动化工业/大学合作研究中心“自给自足的研究伙伴关系”计划下的三年持续奖励的第一年提供资金。该中心由南加州大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校两所核心大学以及加州大学欧文分校、亚利桑那州立大学和加州理工学院三所附属大学组成。该中心最初是由一组公司通过一个非营利组织，制造和自动化研究所支持的。该研究所最近与另一个计算机辅助制造国际研究所合并。新加入组织的名称是“国际先进制造联盟”。该中心将成为新组织的研究部门。此外，还为一名评估人员提供第一年的三年持续奖励，以研究该中心发生的工业/大学相互作用。美国能源部环境恢复和废物管理办公室提供额外资金，以获得该中心的无表决权会员资格。项目经理建议南加州大学在三年持续奖励的第一年获得58,000美元的奖励（包括8,000美元的评估人员）。建议在美国能源部提供的资金中额外提供1万美元，为期一年。

9312547 Bekey This award provides funding for the first year of a three-year continuing award under the "Self-Sufficient Partnership for Research" Program at the University of Southern California's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Manufacturing and Automation. The Center is composed of two core universities, the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles, and three affiliated universities, the University of California, Irvine, Arizona State University and California Institute of Technology. The Center was initially supported by a group of companies through a non-profit organization, Institute of Manufacturing and Automation Research. This Institute recently has merged with another, the Computer-Aided Manufacturing International. The name for newly joined organizations is "Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing-International." The Center will be the research component of the new organization. Funding for the first year of a three-year continuing award for an evaluator to study the industry/university interaction occurring in the Center is also provided. Additional funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Office to obtain a non-voting membership in the Center. The Program Manager recommends the University of Southern California be awarded $58,000 for the first year of a three-year continuing award (includes $8,000 for an evaluator). An additional $10,000 is recommended for one year with funds provided by the U.S. Department of Energy.
