Education and Training
CAMP conducts focused materials educational activities, supports the training of materials research personnel, and interacts with the materials related components of the academic programs at Clarkson University.

Funding
Approximately $7,847,000 were received in support of the research and development operation of CAMP from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004. The funds were distributed among five sources as follows:

New York State CAT Grant $1,000,000

New York State private sources
$ 533,000

Non-New York State private sources $ 973,000

Federal $ 5226,000

Clarkson University $ 115,000

Technology Transfer
One of CAMP's major goals is to transfer technology developed by CAMP research to New York State businesses to use in improving their manufacturing methods and in manufacturing new and improved products. To this end, CAMP facilitates materials-related research collaborations with industry and effective dissemination and implementation of the research results
