Staff: Kellee Gunn (786-7429)
Background: The Joint Center for Aerospace Technology Innovation (JCATI) was created
in 2012 to pursue joint industry-university aerospace research. Ultimately, the research could
then be used in aerospace firms, enhance the education of engineering students, and assist the
aerospace industry in identifying research needs and opportunities. JCATI would operate as
a multi-institutional center under the joint authority of the University of Washington (UW)
and Washington State University. JCATI has a board of directors appointed by the Governor,
representing a cross section of the aerospace industry and higher education. The Legislature
provides $3 million per biennium to JCATI.
The JCATI sunsets July 1, 2020, unless there is legislative action. The Joint Legislative
Audit Review Committee (JLARC) performed a sunset review of JCATI and published their
recommendation in December 2019. JLARC recommended the Legislature continue the
program as it meets the legislative intent to pursue joint university-industry aerospace
research in Washington.
