Sample Membership Agreement Page 10
(Sample) Membership Agreement for Industry Partners
I/UCRC for Realization of Energy Efficient Ground Vehicles This Agreement is made by and between the University of Louisville (hereinafter called "UNIVERSITY") and [insert company name here] (hereinafter called "COMPANY"). WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement intend to join together in a cooperative effort to support an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Realization of Energy Efficient Ground Vehicles (hereinafter called "CENTER") at the UNIVERSITY to maintain a multi-university, multi-company consortium whereby the UNIVERSITY environment can be used to perform research to support the automotive industry‟s efforts to conceive, design, develop, manufacture, and maintain energy efficient ground vehicles. The parties agree to the following terms and conditions: A. CENTER will be operated by certain faculty, staff and students at the UNIVERSITY. For the first five
years, the CENTER will be supported jointly by industrial firms, Federal laboratories, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the State, and the UNIVERSITY. It is possible that the UNIVERSITY may receive support for the CENTER from NSF for an additional ten years.
B. Any company, Federal Research and Development organization, or any Government-owned Contractor
Operated laboratory may become a sponsor of the CENTER, consistent with applicable state and federal laws and statutes. Federal Research and Development organizations and Government-owned Contractor Operated laboratories may become sponsors of the CENTER on terms and conditions other than those in this agreement upon approval by UNIVERSITY and two-thirds of the Industrial Advisory Board.
C. COMPANY agrees to contribute [$30,000] annually in support of the CENTER [see Note 1]. Payment
of these membership fees shall be made to the University as a lump sum effective January 1; or in four equal quarterly installments on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year of sponsorship. Checks from COMPANY should be mailed to Sponsored Programs Financial Administration, University of Louisville, Stevenson Hall, 2301 South Third Street, Louisville, KY 40292, attn: Dottie Davidson], and made payable to [University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc.] Because research of the type to be conducted by the CENTER takes time and research results may not be obvious immediately, COMPANY should join CENTER with the intention of remaining a fee paying member for at least two years. However, there is no obligation to continue membership or make contributions beyond the first year, and COMPANY may terminate this Agreement by providing UNIVERSITY [60] days written notice prior to the annual renewal date. Membership in the CENTER becomes effective upon full execution of this agreement and first payment of dues by COMPANY, with rights and privileges as described in CENTER‟s Bylaws [see Note 2].
D. CENTER research and administrative policies shall be directed by an Industrial Advisory Board (IAB)
composed of one representative from each member. This board makes recommendations on (a) the research projects to be carried out by CENTER, (b) the apportionment of resources to these research projects, and (c) changes in the Bylaws.
E. UNIVERSITY reserves the right to publish in scientific or engineering journals the results of any
research performed by CENTER. COMPANY, however, shall have the opportunity to review any paper or presentation containing results of the research program of CENTER prior to publication of the paper, and shall have the right to request a delay in publication for a period not to exceed [1] year from the date of submission to COMPANY, for proprietary reasons, provided that COMPANY makes a written request and justification for such delay within 30 days from the date the proposed publication is submitted to, and acknowledged by, COMPANY‟s IAB representative.

Sample Membership Agreement Page 11
F. All patents derived from inventions conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the course of research conducted by the CENTER shall belong to UNIVERSITY. UNIVERSITY, pursuant to chapter 18 of title 35 of the United States Code, commonly called the Bayh-Dole Act, will have ownership of all patents developed from this work, subject to "march-in" rights as set forth in this Act.
G. UNIVERSITY agrees that all such CENTER sponsors are entitled to a nonexclusive royalty-free
license. COMPANY will have the right to sublicense its subsidiaries and affiliates. COMPANIES that wish to exercise rights to a royalty-free license agree to pay patent application and maintenance costs.
H. If only one COMPANY seeks a license, that COMPANY may obtain an exclusive fee-bearing license
through one of its agents. COMPANY has the right to sublicense its subsidiaries and affiliates. I. Copyright registration shall be obtained for software developed by CENTER. COMPANY shall be
entitled to a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to all software developed by CENTER. COMPANY will have the right to enhance and to re-market enhanced or unenhanced software with royalties due to CENTER to be negotiated.
J. Any royalties and fees received by UNIVERSITY under this Agreement, over and above expenses
incurred, will be distributed in accordance with UNIVERSITY royalty sharing schedule. [see Note 3] This Agreement, together with the CENTER Bylaws, embodies the entire understanding of the parties, superseding any prior or contemporaneous representations, either oral or written regarding this matter. Only written modifications, signed by both parties, will affect changes to this Agreement. UNIVERSITY COMPANY Name ________________________ ______________________

See Notes on Following Page
Sample Membership Agreement Page 12
Notes
1. The projected $30,000 annual fee is a target. The final value will depend upon the level of interest in memberships (NSF requires a minimum total site funding level of $180,000 per year), and member preferences. Depending upon member preferences expressed through during the planning process, membership levels may be established. One model involves defining a full membership level with comprehensive benefits (vote to establish research agenda and funding levels, access to all research results, and participation in the CENTER professional activities), an associate membership with a reduced fee level and reduced benefits (loss of vote on establishing the research agenda), and an affiliate membership (no vote and no member-level access to research results).
2. The Bylaws have not yet been finalized, and hence are not appended to this draft version of the
membership agreement. The general structure will be embodied in the CENTER “policies, organizational structure, operational procedures” section of the planning grant proposal, but the actual bylaws will be drafted during the planning process in conjunction with the IAB.
3. This schedule can be attached to the final agreement. The terms are still being negotiated between the
CENTER participants and the UNIVERSITY.
4. This sample agreement focuses on University of Louisville site members. The agreement for University of Tennessee members will be similar, but subject to UTK policies and procedures. Like the UL version, the UTK agreement will be finalized during the planning process.

Slide 2EV-STS Planning Meeting, June 15-16, 2015Center Overview
Overview of the EV-STS Initiative
• Six American universities with distinguished records of long-term involvement
with the automotive industry - University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Arizona State
University, University of Louisville, State University of New York, Buffalo,
University of Tennessee, Knoxville, University of Texas, Austin - are engaged in
a planning effort to establish EV-STS, a national research center to develop,
advance, and apply technologies for dramatically improving the energy
efficiency and environmental sustainability of ground vehicles.
• Our partners in this initiative are stakeholders in the automotive and ground
transportation industries, including organizations engaged in the design,
development, manufacture, deployment, support, and large scale use of
ground vehicles.
• The EV-STS initiative is supported by a planning grant awarded through the
National Science Foundation‟s Industry/University Cooperative Research
Center (I/UCRC) program.
• Widely considered one of NSF‟s most successful programs, the I/UCRC model
provides an administrative framework that fosters multi-disciplinary, multi-
organizational collaboration, accountability to industrial partners‟ applied
research needs, timely project execution, and a highly leveraged return on
industry investment.

Slide 6EV-STS Planning Meeting, June 15-16, 2015Center Overview
Purpose of this Planning Meeting (1)
EV-STS is still a work in progress, and the planning meeting will provide the
industrial input required to complete a “center plan” for inclusion in the final
proposal. This center plan requires three components:
• Technology roadmap that includes the research mission and topic areas,
and a plan for investment of center funds over the course of a five year
Phase 1 center grant.
• Protocols and activities for engaging companies in the formulation and
execution of individual research projects.
• Mechanisms to facilitate inter-site collaboration. EV-STS must function
seamlessly as a coherent center, not as a loosely affiliated collection of
universities doing their own thing.

Slide 7EV-STS Planning Meeting, June 15-16, 2015Center Overview
Purpose of this Planning Meeting (2)
During this meeting we will work on the center plan we hope to include in a
final proposal by:
• Making the case for organizational membership ($50,000/year annual fee)
in EV-STS. A viable technology roadmap requires money to invest in the
center‟s research mission.
• Refining the vision statement, research mission definition, and topic area
specifications.
• Presenting research proposals (academic members) and rating them
(potential industrial members) according to specific standards.
• Seeking commitments from companies to not only provide research
funding through their membership fees, but to participate in the
formulation of project ideas, and execution of specific projects. The EV-
STS membership model extends beyond being a sponsor and consumer
of research.
• Soliciting creative ideas for enabling EV-STS to function as an integrated
center.

I/UCRC Research Model• Industry/University Cooperative Research
Centers are cutting-edge collaborations formed
to conduct multi-disciplinary translational
research that addresses the needs of a specific
industry or technology area.
• I/UCRC research activities occur in both
industrial and academic settings, and merge the
unique and complementary strengths of both.
Results are validated by traditional industrial
standards of success.
• Industry benefits by access to innovative ideas,
highly qualified research teams, and specialized
facilities; academia by information on research
needs, and pragmatic project oversight.
• The I/UCRC funding model leverages a modest
amount of NSF base funding with industrial
investment in the form of membership fees and
university contributions through indirect cost
waivers and project matching funds.
• The center research agenda, project portfolio,
and technology roadmap are established by an
Industrial Advisory Board (IAB).
For a further explanation of the I/UCRC partnership
model and value proposition, view the two brief
videos on this NSF website:

Slide 22EV-STS Planning Meeting, June 15-16, 2015Center Overview
EV-STS Strategy for Leveraging Member Investment
• NSF limits universities to 10 percent indirect cost recovery (as opposed to the
normal rate 26-50 percent), which makes I/UCRC membership funding go further
in terms of project work.
• Membership fees are not diluted by charges for direct operational costs. NSF‟s
contribution to the center covers all administrative expenses. These and other
institutional contributions effectively double the project budget.
• A “typical” project budget with $50k per year in center funding should be
sufficient to cover a graduate research assistant (20 hours/week), part time
undergraduate research assistant (10 hours per week), and faculty participation.
There are normally no budgeted charges for technician support and facilities.
• The center will not wait for project ideas to spontaneously arise. Working through
IAB representatives, the site directors will proactively catalyze interaction among
university faculty and members‟ technical staffs. We expect that members will
participate in most proposal preparation efforts.
• EV-STS is interested in establishing an innovative partnership model that
includes collaborative projects among sites and members, graduate internships,
facility tours, and involvement of current members in the recruitment of new
members.

Membership Terms, Responsibilities, and Privileges (1)
Potential members for all I/UCRCs, including EV-STS, are asked to review and
sign a standard NSF agreement that specifies the term, responsibilities, and
privileges of membership.
• The EV-STS membership fee is $50,000 per year. Payment is invoiced as an
annual lump sum, or in equal quarterly installments, according to the
member‟s preference. Memberships are renewed annually, and may be
terminated with 30 days notice prior to initiation of a new year.
• Universities participating in EV-STS have the right to publish results from EV-
STS research in scientific or engineering journals; however, members will
have the opportunity to review any paper or presentation containing results
from the research program, and have the right to request that publication be
delayed for a period of up to one year. Center site directors and faculty
researchers are enjoined to be sensitive to the need to protect members‟
valuable intellectual property, and to consider these issues when proposing
and documenting projects.

Membership Terms, Responsibilities, and Privileges (2)
• Members are each asked to designate one representative per membership
fee to the center‟s Industrial Advisory Board. The board meets biannually to
review research results and make recommendations on (i) the research
projects to be carried out by center researchers, (ii) the apportionment of
resources to these research projects, and (iii) changes in the bylaws (the
bylaws are developed during the initial center planning meeting). Members
are also encouraged to actively participate in the center‟s research agenda
by cultivating, guiding, and contributing to projects in which they have a
particular interest.
• Members are entitled to a nonexclusive royalty-free license for patentable
intellectual property developed through the center (members exercising this
right are responsible for patent application and maintenance costs), and
may sublicense to their subsidiaries and affiliates.
• Members are also entitled to a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to all
software developed by the center.

Membership Terms, Responsibilities, and Privileges (3)
Notes
1. EV-STS membership fees are used entirely for supporting research activities. Center/site
operational and administrative costs are covered by the NSF center grant and cost share
contributions from the universities hosting the sites.
2. An initial (Phase 1) NSF I/UCRC award has a term of five years. Successful centers apply for up
to two five-year renewals (Phase II and Phase III). Just as members may terminate their
membership during the annual renewal period, they may choose not to participate in a Phase II or
Phase III proposal.
3. Because of the lead time associated with performing translational research and the need to have
a period of relative stability during the EV-STS launch period, charter center members are asked
to join with the intention of maintaining their membership for at least two years.
4. Individual company memberships are implemented through a specific site within the center in the
sense that each university partner site will invoice “their members” and work with them to
formulate and execute projects of interest. NSF evaluates both overall center performance, and
the performance of individual sites. Sites are required to maintain a minimum of $150,000/year in
fees (three members for EV-STS) in order to sustain a viable research program. Sites falling
below this minimum are placed on probation. If the membership issue is not addressed within a
year, that site‟s affiliation with the center is terminated.

Notes - Continued
5. Despite being required to operate under NSF‟s site membership model, EV-STS will function as an
integrated center in order to maximize the value returned to members. Members will have access
to work performed at all sites, not just their home site. Inter-site collaborative projects will be a
feature of the center‟s research agenda. Researchers will share facilities and expertise among
sites. Finally, the center and its research activities will be guided by a single center-wide Industrial
Advisory Board.
6. All partner sites within EV-STS are equal as long as they adhere to the center bylaws and remain
in good standing in the eyes of NSF. Center meetings will be rotated among the partner sites.
Sites most effective in recruiting members (and completing projects) will have larger research
budgets. One site (University of Louisville) is designated by NSF as the center‟s lead
administrative site and provided a small annual stipend to cover operational costs (web site
maintenance, meeting publicity and expenses, results documentation, etc.).

At Cummins, our mission demands that “everything we do
leads to a cleaner, healthier, and safer environment.”
We have an unwavering commitment to design, manufacture,
and produce the cleanest and most fuel efficient products in
the world.
The mission of the EV-STS I/UCRC-in-planning is aligned
very closely with this commitment:
“….to conduct and disseminate applied research on technologies,
methodologies, and tools that facilitate the design, manufacture,
deployment, and operation of energy efficient, environmentally
sustainable ground vehicles.”

Industry Perspective on EV-STS, R. Ewing, Cummins Fuel Systems Page 32
An Automotive Industry Perspective on EV-STS
Developing products and services can be very challenging
with many potential technology solutions.
Selecting and commercializing the OPTIMAL technology is
important. This requires:
A solid foundation for research. The universities involved
in EV-STS excel in translating research into innovative
technology solutions.
Successful Product Development. Industry excels at
commercializing the scientific research and validating the
technology solution at industry standards of success.
The OPTIMAL technology solution can evolve from the
collaboration of strengths of each industry and university
partner.
3 6/15/2015
How does an NSF I/UCRC offer value to its members?
Participation on the center IAB with the ability to impact
research directions and participate in specific projects.
Collaboration with academia and industry to solve challenging
problems leveraging the strengths of both partners.
Access and use of university faculty, students, and resources
to conduct research.
Access to other “leaders in academia and in the industry” on
new technologies.
High value research results – ie, “high quality research results
at I/UCRC prices”.
Ability to access pre-publication results of research.
Possible first hand recruitment of graduate school talent
developed within the center.

Slide 6EV-STS Planning Meeting, June 15-16, 2015
Engines and Automotive Research LaboratoriesHead: Prof. Ron Matthews
The Engines and Automotive Research Laboratories were
established in 1983. Our research team conducts a wide
range of research projects, including both numerical
modeling and experimental research, primarily related to
engines but sometimes encompassing other aspects of the
vehicle or even entire vehicle systems.
• Our experimental facilities include 11 engine
dynamometers, of all types (DC, AC, water brake, eddy
current, and universal) and a broad range of
capabilities (10-1000 hp), and a chassis dyno.
• We have 2 optical access engines and a CFR in
addition to various production engines.
• We typically perform cylinder pressure analyses,
emissions measurements, and fuel consumption
measurements.
• Our research identified the cause of the HC emissions
problems with DISI engines, followed by similar
research at Sandia Nat‟l Labs, which found that the
same source was responsible for the PM emissions.
• Sponsors have included Ford, General Motors,
Cummins, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Texas
Department of Transportation, and the Texas State
Energy Conservation Office.

• Energy typically comes from liquid fuel, burned in an engine to produce mechanical power
• Different elements in the powertrain have their own efficiencies
• Some energy diverted into electrical energy
• Ultimate power consumption is at the tire-ground interface
• Simulating the State-of-Charge (SOC) on the battery, the power loss in all system components and the tractive effort applied at the tires
• Computing engine RPM based on torque demands coming into the engine
• Running a model of a vehicle through a representative duty cycle, and computing fuel burned
