Executive Director - (currently Acting Executive Director Dr. Julie M. Stein)
The Executive Director provides leadership and management
for the Industry-University Cooperative Research Program and
its five matching grant research fields. The Executive Director
leads the planning and development of the fields
in biotechnology; communications and networking; digital media;
information technology for life sciences; and electronics manufacturing
and new materials. The Executive Director co-chairs the activities
of the Steering Committee and manages the activities of the
President's Board on Science and Innovation. The Executive Director
also manages economic assessment, electronic research administration,
communications, investment portfolio, and all other elements
of program function and operations.
MICRO reports programmatically to the Executive Director and
is governed by two bodies, the MICRO Executive Board and the MICRO
Policy Board, which are composed of representatives of campuses
and industry.
President's Board
on Science and Innovation
The Board, which is comprised of leaders from business, finance
and the University, has the following six central charges:
- to provide long-range perspective on research, manpower,
and training opportunities and needs in California;
- to advise on how the University might best address those
opportunities and needs in a manner that advances the mission
of the University, maximizes resources available at the federal
and state levels, and strengthens the state economy while addressing
important societal needs;
- for individual members to advise and assist within their
fields of expertise, on request;
- to advise the President on the development, performance,
and impact of the California Institutes for Science and Innovation;
- to advise the President on the development, performance,
and impact of the Industry-University Cooperative Research Program;
- to identify priority research fields for consideration in
these two unique research initiatives or that may warrant development
of entirely new systemwide initiatives within the university.
The University of California is the largest single recipient
of federal basic research funding and is a national leader in
technology transfer activity. As evidenced by these two initiatives
and others, the Governor and State Legislature have invested
increasing resources to strengthen the University’s role
as an essential part of California’s economic development
engine and source of solutions to pressing societal problems.
The board meets three times a year.

Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is the university governing body
for the Industry-University Cooperative Research Program. It is
composed of University representatives and has three main charges:
- To provide academic oversight
and guidance on planning recommendations and on matters related
to University policies and procedures,
- To help identify research
fields for consideration as candidates for new systemwide Industry-University
research programs, and
- To serve as channels of
communication to University researchers and administrators
on the opportunities and goals of the IUCRP.
Members are drawn from the campuses and National Laboratories,
Office of the President, and from appropriate Academic Senate
committees (i.e., UCORP and UCPB). They provide needed expertise
in fields of science and technology and timely communication
and consultation with the University community. The Committee meets at least three times a year.
