INWin-Win
For the academic community:
•stable funding source for research
• exposes the academic community to the ‘real world’
•establishes a meaningful research focus -- industrially-relevant fundamental
• provides support for research and students
For industry, an I/UCRC:
• provides an avenue to investigate a topic which may otherwise not be done
• accomplishes research at a fraction of the cost
• allows an industry to utilize the talents and resources of a university
• vehicle for changing the university culture: multidisciplinary; strategic fundamental
• provides an excellent recruiting tool for building the future of the company

INInput/Feedback
The Level of Interest/Feedback Evaluation (LIFE) process is an essential component of the I/UCRC that provides a simple, efficient method to assist with the selection, guidance, and direction of projects in the center.
The LIFE process ensures quality and stimulates continued interest in the program.
LIFE Forms are distributed andcollected after each technicalpresentation during the semiannual meetings.
Level Of Interest Feedback Evaluation (LIFE)
To facilitate scientific and technical interaction between Center Faculty and Industrial Member Representative, each company represented is requested to rank their company’s level of interest and the research relevancy of each presentation. Please mark an X below to reflect the opinion of your company.
Level of Interest:
_____ Very Interested
______ Interested______ Interested
