President Irvin D. Reid, along with the presidents of Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, formally announced a new energy research initiative Tuesday during testimony before a state Senate committee on the universities’ growing importance to the economy and the need for investment in higher education. The University Research Corridor (URC), a collaborative effort of the three universities, will invest $900,000 to encourage faculty to work collaboratively on novel research that could help shape energy policy. By working together, the presidents pointed out, the universities can more effectively usher inventions from their labs to the marketplace and attract fresh jobs to the state. http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080220/SCHOOLS/802200375/1026
