With the completion of a series of projects dealing with engineering characterization of hollow fiber membranes and biofiltration, involvement by UM was expected to require transition prior to the FY1995 CenCITT funding cycle. Accordingly, a survey project to characterize other resources at UM was necessary to broaden participation of UM faculty, staff and students. Results were compiled based on scientific areas of opportunity and industry sectors. A report including these scientific and industry assessments was written. Findings were used to broaden participation in CenCITT's 1995 internal proposal solicitation.
Project is complete.
36 faculty were identified as potential CenCITT participants, of which six received new funding during the 1995 internal proposal solicitation. The net result was an expanded participation base and funding for UM CenCITT projects.
