Description

Excerpt from In the National Interest: The Federal Government and Research-Intensive Universities; A Report to the Federal Coordinating Council of Science, Engineering, and Technology From the Ad Hoc Working Group on Research-Intensive Universities and the Federal Government; December, 1992 The context within which this relationship has developed and prospered is currently under going major changes. The Cold War, which served as a major stimulus for Federal support of te search for half a century, has come to an end, and science and technology are recognized as critical elements in the emergence of a global international economy. The conduct of research itself has changed, with an explosion of new opportunities generated by the accelerating rate by which knowledge is created and communicated, and by new problems and challenges, in areas from cancer to cosmology, and from global change to genetic engineer ing. The new challenges and opportunities have increased the importance of multidisciplinary te search. Shorter time horizons between concept and application and more iterative relationships between fundamental research and technology have increased the need for collaborative relation ships among researchers.
