The HTI Center has several vehicles to allow collaboration with business and industry.

Industrial sponsorship
Access to the Center's staff and students is available to Industrial Sponsors. Details of this arrangement are detailed elsewhere in this announcement or are available by contacting the HTIC.

Industrial partners
Specific long-term relations between the HTIC and industry can be established and maintained by becoming an industrial partner. Each industrial partnership is uniquely specified to produce a win-win situation for the partner and the HTIC. Initial steps toward becoming a partner with the center can be taken by contacting the director or those faculty most likely to figure prominently in the partnership agreement.

RFP
The Center stands ready to respond to RFPs (Requests for Proposals). Formal and informal contacts regarding specific short-term projects are welcome.

Graduate Student Internship Program
We are willing to help coordinate our students' interest with the needs of business, industry, and government.

REU sponsorship
The Center, under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation, hosts the visit of 10 to 15 of the brightest undergraduates in the country for an 8-week research experience. As part of this experience, multidisciplinary teams of interns work on projects and questions given by an outside sponsor. REU sponsorship is free, but requires that a liaison be designated to visit respond to student queries and to attend the culminating convention held in Norman at the end of July. Priority goes to affiliates who have some other sponsorship arrangement with the Center. Only three REU sponsorships are available each summer. For details on REU sponsorship contact the director.
