What are all the sources of the CMR’s funding, and how is that spent?
Between the State of Tennessee appropriation amount and external funding through research and testing projects, the Center for Manufacturing Research administers approximately $4 million in funding. The CMR supports administrative support staff, technical staff including three R&D engineers, three dedicated faculty in key strategic areas, and more than $700,000 in graduate student stipends and fees. In addition, more than $400,000 is returned to the university in Facility & Administrative fees.
