Abstract

What are Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC's)? How do these National Science Foundation (NSF) supported centers develop? What makes them succeed of fail? A study of twenty (about half) of the current centers reveals that despite modest federal (NSF) support, the centers are able to attract substantial funding from industry, foundations, and state agencies. The study found that centers evolve in seven distinct stages—each with specific problems as well as distinct barriers and facilitators to center development and success. Based on the critical incident/events method, a generalized model of these seven stages is proposed for center growth and development. Implications for managers, researchers, and science policy-makers are discussed.
