Welcome to the evaluation data hub for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) program. This website is maintained by VentureWell and is funded by NSF Cooperative Agreement (#1732084) in order to manage the evaluation and reporting on the outcomes of over 75 Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers.
The IUCRC program generates breakthrough research by enabling close and sustained engagement between industry innovators, world-class academic teams, and government agencies. To learn more about the IUCRC program, visit the NSF IUCRC Website.
In 2023, over 800 companies/organizations participated in the IUCRC program. On average, evaluation data shows that members realize a 22x multiplier on their membership investments.
