Part III of CUMIRP is for Unrestricted Research Grants
which allow for creative and unrestricted use of funds by the UMass
Faculty. Resident Industrial CUMIRP Research Professorships,
Internships and funding of Industrial Lectureships are also possible.
Part III of CUMIRP has expanded rapidly not only because unrestricted
grants carry a lower University overhead rate, but also because of the
flexibility Part III memberships offer. As with Part I and Part II,
sponsors electing Part III memberships are invited to CUMIRP and MRSEC
functions and symposia and may be eligible for a 40 % discount on a
Part I membership.
