33 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Awards and Impact Students "swept" the competition with awards for first, second and third place During center PhD work, she received: A firstplace paper award 2 undergraduate students and 3 graduate students participated; these students took 4 of the 6 available prizes. She received First Place in the Student Paper Competition His work led to a product soon to be commercialized as a joint venture between three of our Center members

34 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Life & Career Changing Worked on project accepted a position is now lead R&D Engineer.. Center Graduate student started academic career as assistant professor beginning new center site REU with center,.. decided to go to grad school, hired by member after grad degree PhD with center,.. I Corp awardee,.. VP for startup Grad student, mentored REUs, hired by member Center grad student received PhD, became professor, funded by center, and began startup (VRS) project was a real transition for me it opened up my eyes to another world

35 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Legacy Example: Student Successes from BSAC 37 Person Class of 1990 Students went on to become industry and academic leaders and entrepreneurs in MEMS, helping to launch a multi billion dollar industry that did not previously exist. Three of the class eventually returned to UC Berkeley faculty appointments and to BSAC as current co Directors. The NSF I/UCRC program itself can be described as an innovation ecosystem Our students create lasting networks bridging industry and academic cultures

36 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Important Nuts and Bolts Upcoming Deadlines - Feb 5: Fundamental Research Program - Feb 7: CORBI - Each center submits same supplement, except budget - Describe collaboration, roles - Stay Tuned: Innov. Managing Dir. DCL - Proposals for 2 nd Cohort - Mar 4: Planning & Full Center Proposals Federal Agency Memberships via MIPRs and Inter Agency Agreements (IAAs) - Seek to expend judiciously - Work closely with Alex Hale ahale@nsf.gov

37 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Fundamental Research Program Overview To provide fundamental research opportunities for IUCRCs Expand the Center s research portfolio into new areas, Solidify center membership by adding value for existing members, (Eventually) lead to center growth by attracting new members Research is to be industrially relevant and benefit both the center and current or future industry members Industry-defined fundamental research projects must demonstrate measurable industry collaboration and involvement that accelerates fundamental research Each proposal must include a letter(s) from the participating member partner(s) detailing measurable industry collaboration (degree and extent to which industry will be involved with the proposed research).

38 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Collaborative Opportunity for Research Between I/UCRCs (CORBI) Overview Purpose: Supplemental requests provide means for I/UCRCs to collaborate on projects of mutual interest that benefit the research portfolios of multiple centers. Program Goal: Create collaborative linkages between centers and industry sectors Support research that is industrially relevant and benefits both centers and IABs, building innovative capacity NSF funds must be matched by an Industry Advisory Board (IAB) commitment. The IABs must use membership funds already collected by the center, as this opportunity represents a choice that each can make in selecting center projects.

39 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Stay tuned. IMD Supplement Use 2013 IMD Dear Colleague Letter as a guide Additional points to consider If position/person already in place, what will be different? Plans for sustainability?

40 National Science Foundation WHERE DISCOVERIES BEGIN Looking ahead Leveraging & Connecting I/UCRC Networks Thu Plenary, Fri AM Sessions Engagement of Other NSF Directorates Building Our International Component I/UCRC Innovation Fellows (IIF) Session Today re international sites Pending position announcement for I/UCRC Program Director - Challenge to center leadership to consider service - Spread/evolve Best Practices, Mentorship Thank You
