CHANCELLOR BERDAHL

Delegation of Authority--The GigaScale Systems Research Center, Berkeley Campus

Under Standing Order of The Regents 100.4(dd), the President is authorized to execute on behalf of the Corporation all contracts and other documents necessary in the exercise of the President's duties, including documents to solicit and accept pledges, gifts, and grants. On March 10, 1995, the Chancellors were delegated the authority to solicit and accept extramural grants and contracts for research not exceeding $5,000,000 in direct costs in any one project year (DA 2036).

Pursuant to the President's authority, the University has executed a new contract from the Microelectronics Advanced Research Corporation (MARCO) in the initial amount of $6,200,000. The project on The GigaScale Systems Research Center commenced on September 1, 2003 and was funded for a one-year period. It is anticipated that two additional years will be funded for a total of $24,000,000.

Effective immediately, as Chancellor of the Berkeley campus, you are authorized to solicit and execute any amendments, modifications, or renewals subsequent to the initial award provided the general intent and purpose of the program remain unchanged from those originally approved.

Any redelegation of this authority shall be in writing, with copies to the Senior Vice President--Business and Finance, the Special Assistant--Coordination & Review, and the General Counsel and Vice President for Legal Affairs.


Robert C. Dynes
