Integrating Altruistic Values into the Engineering Research Center for Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources (CISTAR)

Abstract

Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) are funded to work on big challenges facing the United States. This work in progress encourages ERCs to highlight, as CISTAR has done, the altruistic nature of the research that they do to attract, inspire, and bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds to help meet the big challenges that are facing our nation.
