The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable

美国国家科学院将把政府-大学-产业研究圆桌会议（GUIRR）再延长两年。六年前作为一项实验发起的圆桌会议现在被认为是国家科技政策事务中一个成熟的、独特的组织。联邦机构，州政府，大学，和工业界都把圆桌会议看作是美国唯一的一个论坛，它将研究企业的所有部门的领导人持续地聚集在一起，并以一种为政策过程注入富有想象力的思想和为国家研究系统注入更有效的程序的方式。​圆桌会议的重点继续放在自成立以来一直是圆桌会议议程核心的三个领域：1)学术性科工研究企业——其组织安排、物质基础设施和支持机制；2)大学与其他部门之间、联邦政府与州政府之间的新联盟——他们对学术研究和教学、对工业技术变革和创新过程的贡献，以及由于互动增加而产生的困难的政策问题；3)科学和工程人才的识别、招聘和保留。一项新的提议，即全面审视整个研发企业的管理，是这三个领域工作的合理延伸。这一议程是各工作组和圆桌理事会在过去一年中广泛讨论的结果，同时也得到了有关团体的投入，并以当前活动的成就为基础。此外，圆桌会议将对政策环境中出现的对科学和工程至关重要的问题作出回应。美国国家科学基金会政府-大学-产业研究圆桌会议讨论的主题与美国国家科学基金会的规划和评估活动直接相关。

The National Academy of Sciences will extend for two more years the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR). Initiated as an experiment six years ago, the Roundtable is now recognized as an established, unique organization in national science and technology policy affairs. Federal agencies, state governments, universities, and industry all look to the Roundtable as the only forum in the United States that brings together the leaders of all sectors of the research enterprise on an ongoing basis and in a manner that injects imaginative thought into the policy process and more effective procedures into the nation's research system. The focus of the Roundtable continues to be on the three areas that have been the core of the Roundtable agenda since it was established: 1) the academic science and engineering research enterprise--its organizational arrangements, physical infrastructure, and support mechanisms; 2) new alliances between universities and other sectors and between federal and state governments--their contributions to academic research and teaching and to the processes of technical change and innovation in industry, and the difficult policy issues that arise as a result of the increased interactions; and 3) the identification, recruitment, and retention of science and engineering talent. A new proposed initiative, a comprehensive look at the management of the overall R&D enterprise, is a logical extension of the work in these three areas. This agenda is the result of extensive discussions within the working groups and the Roundtable Council over the past year, together with input from the relevant constituency groups, and is based on the accomplishments of current activities. In addition, the Roundtable will respond to issues vital to science and engineering that emerge in the policy environment. The topics addressed by the NAS Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable have direct relevance to NSF planning and evaluation activities.
