Affiliates
Becoming an Affiliate Member provides your institution with many specific benefits, including:
- Facilitated access to research through the Stanford website
- Invitations to Annual Meetings and workshops
- Liaison with faculty members
- Student recruitment opportunities
- Free copies of reports and publications
- Campus visits
An Affiliate Member may provide additional funding above the Annual Membership fee; this is termed an "additional gift" and its allocation is determined by the co-Directors of the SGH Industrial Affiliates Program. All research results arising from the use of the Annual Membership fee and any additional funding will be shared with all of the SGH Affiliate Members and the general public upon request.
Stanford’s Office of the Vice Provost and Dean of Research provides more detailed information about the Stanford University Policies Affecting Industrial Affiliates Program Membership, including its open research policy.
Affiliate Program members may provide additional funding. All research results arising from the use of the additional funding will be shared with all program members and the general public. Affiliate Program members may request the additional funding be used to support a particular area of program research identified on the program’s website, or the program research of a named faculty member, as long as the faculty is identified on the program website as participating in the Affiliate Program. In either instance, the director of the Affiliate Program will determine how the additional funding will be used in the program’s research.
