Abstract
The University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Joint Program in Mixed-Signal VLSI and Monolithic Sensors is described. This program is organized around four major components: 1) joint research; 2) a joint graduate program; 3) a summer intern program for undergraduates; and 4) an annual workshop on mixed-signal VLSI and monolithic sensors. There are typically 5-7 research programs that support 10-15 graduate students each year. Industry participates in this program by providing financial support for Industrial Fellows that are selected from Joint Program applicants.

Funding
We present the bioluminescent bioreporter integrated circuits (BBICs) research as one example of joint research, joint graduate program, and summer intern program operation. The BBICs research is a collaborative effort between the University of Tennessee Center for Environmental Biotechnology (UT-CEB) and ORNL, and is presently funded by the Department of Energy, The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, and NASA.
