National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Research Partnership Center (RPC) www.nasa.gov                                        
NASA Research Partnership Centers (RPCs) represent an extensive network of industry, government, and academic partners to benefit space exploration, other NASA missions, and life on Earth. This network includes small businesses, as well as many of the largest research and development companies in the world. RPCs leverage NASA funds with investments from industry, other government agencies, and universities to create dual-use technologies for NASA and to benefit society.

The Alabama Structural Biology Consortium (ASBC) http://crystal.uah.edu/~asbc
Selected as a NSF/EPSCoR project, The ASBC is an alliance of academic departments and research laboratories from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), the University of South Alabama (USA), and the University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB). The ASBC stimulates research in structural biology through collaborative use of resources and expertise among the member universities and with government and industry laboratories.
