Conference Proceedings
Much of the research work completed in the CHIP Laboratory is made possible through strong industry contacts. These industry contacts have led to many projects completed in the lab including:

Industry Contracted Projects
Much of the research work completed in the CHIP Laboratory is made possible through strong industry contacts. These industry contacts have led to many projects completed in the lab including:
Continued Contract Testing of Reconditioned Football Facemasks
Wright, N., Smith, A.W., Cardinal, M., Marino, A. P., Garrison, A., Henline, B., Luquire, C., Dolan, Z., Bouknight, T. (2015-Present)
Green Gridiron, an industry partner since 2013, has continued to contract NOCSAE standard testing on reconditioned football facemasks with the CHIP Laboratory. 15 reports have been provided by the CHIP Laboratory to ensure Green Gridiron is compliant with NOCSAE Standards for the reconditioned facemasks. Green Gridiron has also served the CHIP Laboratory by aiding laboratory renovations, giving advice on research directions, and helping to procure funding—and often providing funding themselves.
