Opportunity Summary:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) opportunity titled "Fundamental Research Program for Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC)" supports industry-defined fundamental research proposed by existing NSF I/UCRC centers. The central idea is to move beyond narrowly scoped, near-term applied projects that may dominate an individual industry membership base and instead fund research that deepens core scientific and engineering knowledge while still staying grounded in problems and directions that industry partners consider important. By having industry help define and shape these research questions, the program aims to extend the technical horizon of center projects and accelerate innovation through fundamental work that remains industrially relevant.
This is a discretionary grant program in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category. NSF anticipated about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,600,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 (floor) and $250,000 (ceiling). The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules and the specific proposal budget expectations.
Eligibility is tightly linked to participation in the NSF I/UCRC program. The proposal principal investigator must be the center director of an NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center, although other center participants may serve as co-principal investigators. The center director at the lead institution could request a waiver to the PI requirement, but the default expectation is that the center director leads the submission. This structure reinforces that proposals are intended to be center-based efforts aligned with the I/UCRC model of collaborative university research with active industry membership and engagement.
The funding opportunity number for the archived announcement is NSF 10-601, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 47.041 (Engineering Grants) and 47.070 (Computer and Information Science and Engineering). The original full proposal deadline was February 2, 2011, with the announcement indicating a recurring deadline pattern of the first Wednesday in February annually thereafter. The posting date was August 17, 2010, and the archive date was October 17, 2011. The listing notes that this opportunity was replaced by NSF 11-570, which is relevant for applicants looking for the most current solicitation rather than the archived version.
