3 What is an I/UCRC? NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center NSF Funds administrative activities Minimizes the overhead rate to 10% limit Sets a legal framework for IP Perform and implement research agenda Create training modules Univ. Sets research agenda Collectively provides funding for research agenda Reviews project of research projects Industry 3

4 Membership Fee and Associated Benefits Membership Fee: $50,000 per year Membership Benefits: Directing and collaborating on large-scale research programs Leveraging other members investments Sharing of center research / development knowledge and experiences among members Networking with industry experts and leading researchers from multiple universities Reduction in overhead rate NSF mandates 10% 4

5 Vision for the SAAV Manufacturing Center Establish a Center that serves current and future needs of the vehicle manufacturing industry in the Southeast. Focused on Five Manufacturing Thrust Areas: Manufacturing Systems Design Technologies and Processes for Mass Customization Lean Manufacturing and Manufacturing Management Data-driven Approaches for Advanced Quality Control Occupational Safety and Ergonomics 5
