NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program (I/UCRC)
 
The National Science Foundation has announced the new  Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers program, or I/UCRC.   The number of proposals per institution is not limited as long as each  one involves different disciplines and different industries.  The  program is designed to develop long-term partnerships among industry,  academe, and government. The centers are catalyzed by a small investment  from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and are primarily supported  by industry center members, with NSF taking a supporting role in the  development and evolution of the center.  
 
Two kinds of awards: 
Planning Grants
Full Center Proposals
 
Award amounts and requirements are tiered according to whether the  proposal is a planning grant, a Phase I First Five-Year Center Award, a  Phase II Second Five-year Center Award, or a Phase III Third Five-Year  Center Award.
 
Two deadlines are posted for both letters of intent and for proposals:
Letters of intent: January 2 and June 29, 2012
Proposals: March 6 and September 28, 2012
