Members have priority on distribution of all research results. Member companies have access to highly specialized expertise, facilities and instrumentation in the School and in cooperating departments. Operating Environment Representatives from member companies prioritize research projects and advise the Center's directors on matters related to budget and management. Meetings are held twice a year, when the research staff makes oral and written presentations. Sponsors' representatives offer constructive criticism to the research staff.
Every project has a closing date after a year of operation.
Extensions must be approved by the Center sponsors and directors. Each project is designed to be a complete study in its own right, even though it may be an integral part of a more general research program. Membership money supports the research projects selected by the members and the directors. The University has exempted the Center from overhead charges, so each dollar received goes directly into research. Your company is invited to join.
