Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Web Handling

该奖项为俄克拉荷马州立大学工业/大学网络处理合作研究中心提供了为期两年的逐步淘汰资助。中心的目标是：1)通过基础和通用研究，提升网络处理技术的科学基础；2)协助向主办机构传递知识和信息；3)协助向俄克拉何马州的目标制造企业转移知识和信息；4)与产业界和其他高校建立并保持牢固的合作关系。该中心目前有19家企业赞助商，每家每年提供25,000美元的赞助。在过去十年的发展中，赞助者在项目评估、新项目确定和主要研究人员的建议方面发挥了关键作用。在持续的基础上，征求审计委员会成员对可能的新项目的投入。每年进行一次研究需求评估。来自行业参与者的投入经常成为后续会议上新项目提案的基础，以及持续项目范围的变化。

Abstract EEC-9614159 Reid This award provides funding for two years for a two-year phaseout award to Oklahoma State University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Web Handling. The goals of the Center are to: 1) to advance the science base in the technologies of web handling through fundamental and generic research; 2) to assist in the transfer knowledge and information to the sponsoring organizations; 3) to assist in the transfer of knowledge and information to targeted Oklahoma manufacturing firms; and 4) to establish and maintain strong cooperative relationships with industry and other universities. The Center currently has nineteen corporate sponsors each contributing $25,000 each year for sponsorship. Over the ten year development the sponsors have played a key role in the evaluation of projects, the identification of new projects, and the advisement of the principal investigators. Inputs are sought on a continuing basis from the IAB members on potential new projects. A research needs assessment is conducted once each year. Inputs from industry participants often form the basis of new project proposal s at subsequent meetings, as well as changes in the scope of continuing projects.
