The NSF I/UCRC Model More than 100 Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRCs) have been established by NSF Over 1000 companies have signed the Affiliation Agreement for one or more I/UCRCs An Industrial Advisory Board is involved in project selection and strategic planning

The NSF I/UCRC Model Affiliates have common ownership of the research portfolio NSF ensures high-quality centers by engaging independent professional evaluators to study I/UCRC interactions both qualitatively and quantitatively Model is being considered in other countries

S 2 ERC Mission Statement The mission of the Security and Software Engineering Research Center is to conduct a program of applied and basic research on software security, system security and software technology problems of interest to its members. The goal of this research is to enable security and software technology gains within member organizations.
