ICAPP: Where the future of education and business meet home access latest research research centers lelter from the former Chancellor 270 Washington Street, S.w. Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Phone: 404/656-2202 Fax: 404/657-6979 August 1997 In our increasingly knowledge-based economy, access to expertise is critical. Therefore, on behalf of the Board of Regents, we are pleased to provide for the first time a catalog of intellectual expertise available through official centers, institutes and special programs across the University System of Georgia (USG). As the nation's fourth largest university system with 34 institutions, 205,000 students, some 30,000 faculty and staff, and serving 350,000 annually through continuing education and public service, the USG develops intellectual capital for the State of Georgia. This document was created at the suggestion of the business community and through the cooperative efforts of our colleges and universities. A product of our Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP), it is designed to be a new economic development tool for use by business, government, academia, non-profits and Georgia citizens. I hope you will find this an informative document and useful tool, reflective of Georgia's public institutions of higher education and the University System they compose. Please let us know how we can best meet your needs. Sincerely, Stephen R.

Although the Board of Regents has attempted to create a comprehensive description of the System's intellectual capital, certain centers, institutes, or special programs may not appear in this edition. However, we intend to revise and update this document regularly. Definitions For the purpose of this catalog, the following definitions apply: A "center" is typically part of an institution's formal units, provides an organizational base for research in a given area, and may offer education and service. It may also be supported by internal and external funding. An "institute" shares a center's focus on research and interdisciplinary activity, involvement in continuing education and service to the community, and support from internal and external funding sources. However, an institute is a more formalized structure and may be the equivalent of an autonomous unit within the institution, such as a college or department. Unlike a center, an institute will offer credit courses and may offer degree programs. A "special program," although not a formal structure of the institution, generally features a concentration of expertise and serves as a resource through which the community or general public may access the institution's intellectual capital or the special services it offers. Unlike a center or institute, a special program is not necessarily characterized by a focus on research or an offering of degree programs. Organization of the Entries Each profile contains descriptive information on the respective center, institute, or special program, including the title, contact information, purpose, description, affiliated staff, and funding sources. If the entity maintains a web site, you can access the site by clicking on the entity's name. An entry of "NA" indicates that the information could not be obtained prior to the publication of this first edition of the catalog. "Staff" may reflect full-time and/or part-time faculty, staff, and students affiliated with the center, institute, or program at the time information was reported. Reproduction of the Entries For your convenience, this catalog appears in an easily reproduced format. Portions of this catalog may be reprinted or quoted, provided the source of the information is acknowledged. Contact Information If you would like additional copies of the catalog or wish to update information contained in it, leave a comment or contact the Office of Development and Economic Services, Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 270 Washington Street, SW, Suite 7056, \. Atlanta, GA 30334; phone 404.657.0832; and fax 404.651.9301. , Acknowledgments This catalog is published by the Board of Regents Office of Development and Economic Services; however, many people contributed to its production. Special thanks go to the Economic Development Institute at the Georgia Institute of Technology for the editing and design of the catalog; the Board of Regents Office of Planning and Policy Analysis for i~s advice and counsel; and the System's directors of institutional research and planning for their help in researching and compiling the information.

URL: http://www.cerc.gatech.edu/ Year Established: 1991 Staff: 38 Purpose: To promote multidisciplinary undergraduate and graduate education and research opportunities in the area of composite materials and structures through the six participating schools within the College of Engineering and Georgia Tech Research Institute; to develop and maintain close relationships with industrial users and manufacturers of composite materials and government agencies; and to raise the amount of funded research in the area of composites and fostering cooperation at Georgia Tech in acquiring, maintaining, and optimizing usage of expensive laboratory equipment Description: Composite materials offer exciting advantages over more traditional metallic materials. Their stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios, when reinforced by modem stiff/high strength fibers, can be superior to any other known structural material. Modem advanced composites are a success story from the viewpoint of their many applications, ranging from golf club shafts and tennis rackets to advance aircraft and space vehicles. However the story could and should be better. More widely diverse applications of composite materials suffer from the costs of production. the quality of manufacturing, to questions of long term durability and the lack of ability to accurately predict life and structural response. The Composites Education and Research Center at Georgia Tech is poised to help resolve these issues by: (1) Educating the scientist and engineers of the future in such a manner that they are equipped to tackle these problems and (2) Conducting the relevant research to solve many of the unanswered problems that are holding back even wider spread use of modern composite materials. We at Georgia Tech feel that the enhanced use of modern composites is a key ingredient to the national economic competitiveness of the United States.

Atlanta, GA 30332-0245 URL: http://www.nanoscience.gatech.edu/zlwang/index.htm Purpose: The Electron Microscopy Center, in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, is a multi-user facility. Its mission is to provide the Georgia Tech campus with state-of-the-art electron microscopy tools. Description: The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to work at the molecular level, atom by atom, to create large structures with fundamentally new molecular organization. Compared to the behavior of isolated molecules of about 1 nm (10 -9 m) or of bulk materials, behavior of structural features in the range of about 10 -9 to 10 -7 m (1 to 100 nm - a typical dimension of 10 nm is 1,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair) exhibit important changes. Nanotechnology is concerned with materials and systems whose structures and components exhibit novel and significantly improved physical, chemical, and biological properties, phenomena, and processes due to their nanoscale size. Exploit these properties by gaining control of structures and devices at atomic, molecular, and supramolecular levels and to learn to efficiently manufacture and use these devices. Maintaining the stability of interfaces and the integration of these "nanostructures" at micron-length and macroscopic scales are all keys to success.

Description: Today, an estimated 2.4 million American households-or seven (7) percent of all families with children under eighteen (18) are headed by grandparents. For a variety of reasons, growing numbers of grandparents are raising grandchildren, and the phenomenon impacts families from all ethnicities, educational backgrounds and economic levels. Currently, minimal collaboration exists among researchers and direct service providers who interact with the everincreasing population of grandparent-headed families. To respond to this increasingly important social issue, the National Center on Grandparents Raising Grandchildren was established at Georgia State University. The National Center will be on the forefront of issues associated with intergenerational kinship care. The National Center is the first organization to bring together all of these diverse practitioners and researchers.

ICAPP: Where the future of education and business meet home access latest research research centers Institute for Environmental & Spatial Analysis Address: Science Division Gainesville College Gainesville, GA 30501 Description: Gainesville College (GC) was recently approved to establish The Institute for Environmental and Spatial Analysis (IESA). This Institute is a collaborative effort of the Social Sciences, Business, and the Science, Engineering and Technology Divisions at GC, the School of Natural and Health Sciences at North Georgia College and State University (NGCSU), and the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at the University of Georgia (UGA). The Institute is a partnership, co-directed by the affiliated schools. The main focus of the IESA is the development of an in-depth scientific understanding of water quality, watershed integrity, and land use impacts within the Chattahoochee River Basin and other basins in northeast Georgia. The IESA will participate in collaborative course development within the environmental and spatial analysis areas, in particular in water quality analysis, watershed assessment, source water assessment, spatial data analysis, and hydrologic modeling. Course development will evolve as a result of applied research within the Chattahoochee River Basin involving faculty, graduate and undergraduate students to ensure currency and relevance of course work. The IESA has established a strong cooperative relationship with the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, the Natural Resources Spatial Analysis Lab, and the River Basins Science and Policy Center at the University of Georgia. This will provide further opportunity for direct involvement between member units of the Institute of Environmental and Spatial Analysis and other units at the University such as Ecology, Crop and Soil Science, Forest Resources, Geology, and Geography. Moreover, this affiliation will strengthen the position of all institutions with regard to science, policy, outreach, and service in the area of water resources at both the State and local levels.
