The National Fluid Power Association is proposing an Engineering Research Center dedicated to growing the fluid power industry. Instead of a centralized campus, NFPA envisions a network of schools and universities working in partnership with industry. Goals include:
- The promotion of fluid power R&D
- More public awareness of the importance of fluid power
- Expanded industry applications
A grant proposal has been submitted to the National Science Foundation, and industry stakeholders have pledged more than $3 million.
