an econoMical pathway For joint venture research:
the cooperative research proGraM oF sae
Cooperative research ventures serve to bring more minds to the challenges and issues faced by
industry. The result is a more robust project than each participating organization could complete
independently. The pooling of financial resources also affords each participant more efficient use
of their research budgets and eliminates duplication of efforts. Whether moving forward on the
development of fuel cell standards...researching alternative refrigerants...or developing a database of
human body measurements to foster ergonomic designs, SAE's Cooperative Research Program can
assist your company in its collaborative research needs.
