Science and Technology in the Academic Enterprise: Status, Trends, and Issues

The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable,National Academy of Sciences,National Academy of Engineering,Institute of Medicine,Erich Bloch

The U.S. academic research enterprise is entering a new era characterized by remarkable opportunities and increased strain. This two-part volume integrates the experiential knowledge of group members with quantitative data analyses in order to examine the status of scientific and technological research in academic settings. Part One reviews the status of the current research enterprise, emerging trends affecting it, and issues central to its future. Part Two is an overview of the enterprise and describes long-term trends in financial and human resources. This new book will be useful in stimulating policy discussions–especially among individuals and organizations that fund or perform academic research.
