GTRI InTeRdIsCIPLInARy ReseARCh CenTeRs In The Military Sensing Information Analysis Center (SENSIAC) www.sensiac.gatech.edu SENSIAC is an information analysis center (IAC) serving the U.S. Department of Defense. It replaces IRIA, a center that focused primarily on infrared technologies. SENSIAC has broad mission and scope, providing information on all sensing-based technologies related to defense activities, including infrared, laser, radar, acoustic, electro-optical, aroma, chemical and other sensors. In addition to being a clearinghouse for information, SENSIAC conducts research projects and educational programs. The Center draws upon experts across the Georgia Tech campus, as well as seven other universities that serve as SENSIAC team members. Environmental Health and Occupational Safety Center http://maven.gtri.gatech.edu/esoh/about.html The Environmental Health and Occupational Safety Center oversees programs in compliance, environmental emergency response and occupational safety and health issues. It bridges the communications gap between constantly updated government regulations and Georgia business, industry, community organizations, and individuals. Logistics and Maintenance Applied Research Center landmarc.gtri.gatech.edu The Logistics and Maintenance Applied Research Center (LandMARC) provides commercial and government organizations the means to enhance performance of their existing systems and processes, while reducing total operating costs. LandMARC develops performance-centered systems that deliver quality information to decision makers in all parts of the supply chain. Test & Evaluation Research and Education Center www.terec.gatech.edu The Test & Evaluation Research and Education Center (TEREC) serves as a focal point for solving the problems of the test and evaluation community. Leveraging the Georgia Tech academic environment and decades of T&E experience, TEREC is defining the future of test and evaluation by advancing knowledge, education and training. Severe Storms Research Center www.gtri.gatech.edu/seal/radar/facil_ssrc.html The Severe Storms Research Center (SSRC) is a focal point for severe storm research in Georgia. The Center also serves the state by providing quick response information to weather and emergency agencies. Center for Innovative Fuel Cell and Battery Technologies www.fcbt.gatech.edu The Center for Innovative Fuel Cell and Battery Technologies takes a multi-disciplinary approach to fuel cell and battery research. It serves as a catalyst for development of revolutionary advances through world-class research integrated across disciplines and ranging from fundamental discovery to application-specific prototypes. Dental Technology Center www.dentec.gatech.edu The Dental Technology Center — DenTeC@ Georgia Tech — is a multi-disciplinary research center focused on advancing dental and craniofacial science and technology. By integrating engineering knowledge and dental science, DenTeC is introducing new products and technologies for dentistry and craniofacial medicine via research, testing and education. Center for International Development and Cooperation www.gtri.gatech.edu/seal/cidc.html The Center for International Development and Cooperation (CIDC) develops low-cost radar and phased-array concepts through joint international research activities. CIDC also provides an international forum for technical interchange and seeks dual-use applications for foreign radar technologies. Commercial Product Realization Office www.gtri.gatech.edu/cpro The Commercial Product Realization Office (CPRO) assists companies across both technical and business domains in getting new technology products to market. CPRO also connects research customers to a broad array of services including advice on technology selection, product design, prototyping, production preparation, product data documentation, and testing assistance. Office of Policy Analysis and Research www.opar.gtri.gatech.edu The Office of Policy Analysis and Research (OPAR) integrates public policy considerations into GTRI’s technical research and facilitates GTRI’s input into the science and technology policy debate. Specifically, OPAR supports the Georgia General Assembly with policy analysis and subject matter expertise in science and technology issues such as nanotechnology for economic development, health information technology, and stem cell research. 5 www.gtri.gatech.edu http://maven.gtri.gatech.edu/esoh/about.html http://landmarc.gtri.gatech.edu http://www.sensiac.gatech.edu http://www.terec.gatech.edu http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/centers/ssrc http://www.fcbt.gatech.edu http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/atlanta/cidc http://www.dentec.gatech.edu http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/cpro http://www.opar.gtri.gatech.edu http://www.gtri.gatech.edu
