Industry-directed research
USG institutions work with businesses to conduct research to meet industry needs. For example:
Traditional Industries Program
The Traditional Industries Program brings
together industry leaders and university researchers to develop and implement
practical solutions facing Georgia's pulp and paper, food processing, and apparel,
carpet and textile companies. A council of leaders in each industry identifies
critical competitiveness problems, then works closely with University System
faculty to solve them.
Industrial
Educational Partners Program
The Industrial
Educational Partners Program brings industry into the Georgia Tech/Emory Center (GTEC) for the Engineering of Living
Tissues to evaluate research and educational programs, and interact with faculty
and students involved in biomedical and bioscience research.
Complex Carbohydrate Research Center
The Complex Carbohydrate Research Center is the home to the University of Georgia Cancer Center and to four federally
designated centers for carbohydrate
research:
- the U.S. Department of Energy-funded Center for Plant and Microbial Complex Carbohydrates
- the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/NCRR Research Resource for Integrated Glycotechnology
- the NIH/NCRR Integrated Technology Resource for Biomedical Glycomics
- an NSF Functional Genomics Center: A Monoclonal Antibody Toolkit for Functional Genomics of Plant Cell Walls
As a federal center, the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center provides analytical services to scientists in university, government, or industrial laboratories who are interested in complex carbohydrate molecules and offers two one-week, hands-on, laboratory training courses every summer in the techniques used to analyze complex carbohydrates.
