This mission is supported by a selection of core values that include advancing basic science for public benefit, reducing the nation's dependence on foreign oil, reducing organic waste by transforming nonedible biomass -- such as corn stover and wheat straw -- into biofuels, and keeping the United States at the vanguard of scientific discovery by providing educational experiences for students and teachers and developing future generations of scientists. Their research areas span basic research in cell wall structure and functions, engineering of microbes for the production of advanced ("drop-in")

JCAP has a Strategic Advisory Board and a Scientific Advisory Board that includes members from industry and academia. Some of the unique competitive advantages of JCAP include streamlined access to DOE light sources and high-performance computational facilities; ultrahigh throughput experimentation capabilities; and suites of unique in situ instrumentation dedicated to research on solar fuels.

Additionally, partnered with Greenville Technical College in the recently announced 100,000 square foot Center for Manufacturing Innovation, CU-ICAR and Clemson University have embarked on new models for education and research, all under one roof. CU-ICAR has more than 130 industry partners, all fulfilling unique roles in the initiative.

The evidence of impact for America Makes lies in their robust additive manufacturing technology roadmaps and how esteemed it is in the manufacturing industry, as well as 175 members that are a part of America Makes. These members include 109 industry partners, 62 of which are small businesses, 39 academic partners, 14 government partners, 10 nonprofit organizations, and 3 manufacturing extension partnerships.

PowerAmerica's technology advancement efforts have ranged from technology roadmapping, to specific projects that bring companies and universities together, to scale-up of emerging power electronics technologies for factory production, to the creation of the country's first "open-foundry" SiC-based semiconductor fabrication facility. Driving down the cost of WBG devices so they are competitive with conventional silicon-based semiconductors is an important goal of the institute.

, which consists of expert technical staff with industrial experience in product development and team management who help build and lead integrated technology development teams focused on high-value applications. ATT members work closely with institute faculty and lead project development teams composed of students, fellows, and staff from multiple faculty laboratories that span across all of Harvard's schools and its collaborating institutions.

The ISN has many industry partners -- for example, FLIR Systems, JEOL USA, Lockheed Martin, Nano-C, Raytheon, Total American Services, Triton Systems, VF Corporation, Xtalic, and the Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology. Industry and Army partners work together with ISN researchers to push technology from basic research into real products and help with transition scaling advising the ISN on which scientific and technical challenges are priorities (too risky and/or long-term for companies to handle, or well-aligned with Army science and technology objectives)
