Lab and Center Membership Dues

The membership year for labs and centers is set by the date of each organization's first payment of dues. Thereafter, this serves as the anniversary date for renewal.

For a membership invoice, either e-mail members@cra.org or print a PDF here.

Membership Categories:

Annual Sponsoring, Sustaining, and Supporting lab and center memberships are available for firms whose leadership is critically dependent on computing research. Members in these three categories receive special acknowledgement in CRA publications as well as sponsorship benefits at CRA’s biennial Conference at Snowbird.

Sponsoring Member: $50,000
Sustaining Member: $30,000
Supporting Member: $20,000

The suggested dues rates for labs that do not wish to join at these higher levels are:

Education-oriented funds such as doctoral fellowships and equipment for universities are excluded. Expenditures and indirect costs from government and lab and center research grants are included.
