1.3: Governance

[Ensure that each Institute has] substantial autonomy from its partner organizations and institutions

Other Information:

IMI Governance -- Each Institute should have substantial autonomy from its partner organizations and institutions and should have an independent fiduciary Board of Directors predominantly composed of industry representatives. An Institute leader such as an Executive Director should be in charge of day-to-day operations. The three key stakeholders of NNMI (industry, academia, and government) will need to have their interests preserved in a joint governance model. Each proposal will outline the methods by which decisions will be made, including those decisions related to operations, membership, intellectual property, capital investments, project selection, funding allocation, and progress toward sustainability. Draft Institute membership and governance agreements should be included within proposals.
