The IUCRC Program began as an experimental program in the early 1970s and was formally launched during 1979-80. It is one of several partnership-based programs supported by the NSF’s Engineering Directorate.
Data on the program has been collected and reported at least since 1986. Key areas of examination include investments, workforce development, and impact on research and development.
