Partial Support for the Core Activities of the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR)

背景：联邦政府、大学和行业之间的伙伴关系的有效性影响着科学思想的进步和这些思想从实验室到实践的转变。为了确保这些伙伴关系顺利运作，并在出现任何阻碍科学创新和竞争力的障碍时，美国国立卫生研究院必须积极参与这些伙伴关系。政府-大学-产业研究圆桌会议(GUIRR)是美国国立卫生研究院S教授让这些伙伴关系发挥作用的主要工具之一。万尼瓦尔·布什在《科学·无尽的边疆》一书中描述了大学和联邦政府之间的关系。他指出，我们国家的安全、健康和进步取决于联邦政府和大学之间关系的强弱，以及这些部门与将这些进步带入生产的行业之间的关系。政府-大学-产业研究圆桌会议由美国国家科学院(NAS)负责运作。其历史目标是召集来自政府、大学和工业界的最高层代表，确定和探讨与国家和全球科学技术议程有关的共同感兴趣的关键问题；制定当前辩论和分析产生的下一个关键问题的框架；并孵化对利益攸关方具有持续价值的活动。S的总体使命是通过成功解决阻碍美国研究企业充分发挥其潜力的跨行业问题来改善美国的研究企业。GUIRR监测和确定可能阻碍科学进步和将科学思想转化为有益产品、治疗方法和过程以造福我们国家的因素。GUIRR提供了一个论坛，政府、工业和大学等组成部门的领导人可以定期举行会议，以坦率和积极的方式讨论问题。会议议题由成员选择，因此并不总是事先知道；然而，这些召集的讨论的形式和数量一直是固定的，预计将保持不变。任务描述：NIH与其他参与的联邦机构合作，需要具有NAS信誉和尊重的外部组织的协助，以召开会议，让行业、政府和大学的领导人参与讨论，确定关键问题，并提出改善这些组织之间条件和关系的方法。这次活动的总目标是提高国家科学事业的质量、内容和生产力。几十年来，GUIRR一直在提供这项服务。它的重点是联邦机构和大学之间出现的问题，以及行业和大学之间的关系，以改善国家科学事业。NIH希望这些努力继续下去，具体地说：A.GUIRR每年将在华盛顿特区至少主办三次会议。B.国家卫生研究院鼓励科学院确保GUIRR成员和主题反映现代科学研究企业的充分多样性，根据生命科学和信息技术领域在国家科学生态系统中日益突出的作用，增加其成员并强调这些领域。GUIRR还应使成员组织的类型多样化，如私人慈善、风险投资和小型商业组织，以及管理这些组织的人，以包括劳动力的社会文化、种族和性别多样性。C.国家卫生研究院鼓励成员考虑在范围和重要性上与下列问题相似的问题：？全球研究伙伴关系？制定国家研发议程？增加公众对国家研究企业的了解和参与？跨越基础研究转化为可交付产品的障碍的新型跨部门伙伴关系？研发生产率的替代指标？研究企业中非传统合作伙伴的参与策略？使用人工智能和机器学习来加速翻译？在STEM研究生项目中发展创新和创业文化？大数据：对社会的影响？翻译研究及其对G-U-I伙伴关系的启示？政策企业家：推动科学在政府政策形成中的存在？促进产学研合作提升国家竞争力？S？STEM研究生培训和相关专业劳动力发展？跨国公司研发地点D的因素。GUIRR偶尔会确定目标项目，并确定一个工作组来开展目标活动。E.GUIRR将主办网络研讨会，作为以更直接和更自由的方式向GUIRR利益攸关方提供预期价值信息的一种手段。GUIRR将报告每个网络研讨会的出席情况，并努力增加出席人数。

Background: The effectiveness of the partnership between federal government, universities and industry influence the advancement of scientific ideas and the transition of those ideas from the lab to practice. To ensure these partnerships work smoothly and to address any barriers to scientific innovation and competitiveness as they arise, NIH must proactively engage in these partnerships. The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) is one of NIH?s primary tools to make these partnerships work. The relationship between universities and the federal government was described by Vannevar Bush in, Science the Endless Frontier. He makes the point that the security, the health, and the advancement of our nation is dependent on the strength of the relationship between the federal government and the universities, and the relationship of those sectors to the industry that brings those advancements into production. The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable operates under the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Its historical objective is to convene senior-most representatives from government, universities and industry to define and explore critical issues related to the national and global science and technology agenda that are of shared interest; to frame the next critical question stemming from current debate and analysis; and to incubate activities of on-going value to the stakeholders. GUIRR?s overall mission is to improve the research enterprise of the United States by successfully resolving the cross-sectorial issues that prevent the U.S. research enterprise from reaching its full potential. GUIRR monitors and identifies factors that may impede the advancement of science and the translation of scientific ideas into useful products, therapies and processes to benefit our nation. GUIRR provides a forum where leaders of the constituent sectors, Government, Industry, and Universities, can meet on a regular basis and discuss issues in a candid and proactive way. Meeting topics are chosen by the membership and are thus not always known in advance; however, the format and numbers of these convened discussions has been and is expected to remain fixed. Task Description: The NIH, working in collaboration with other participating federal agencies, requires the assistance of an external organization with the credibility and respect of the NAS to convene meetings, engage leaders of industry, government, and universities in discussions that identify critical issues, and propose ways to improve the conditions and relationships between those organizations. The overall goal of this activity is to improve the quality, content, and productivity of the national science enterprise. GUIRR has provided this service for decades. It is focused on issues that arise between federal agencies and universities as well as the relationship between industry and universities to improve the national science enterprise. The NIH would like these efforts to continue, specifically: A. GUIRR will host at least three meetings per year in Washington, DC. B. The NIH encourages the Academy to ensure GUIRR membership and topics reflect the full diversity of the modern scientific research enterprise, increasing its membership and emphasis on life sciences and information technology in accordance with the increasingly prominent roles these fields are playing the national scientific ecosystem. GUIRR should also diversify in the types of member organizations, e.g., private philanthropy, venture capital, and small business organizations, and in the people who run them, to include the full spectrum of sociocultural, racial, and gender diversity of the workforce. C. The NIH encourages members to consider issues that are similar in scope and magnitude to the following: ? Global Research Partnerships ? Shaping a National R&D Agenda ? Increasing Public Understanding of and Involvement in the National Research Enterprise ? Novel Cross-Sector Partnerships to Overcome Barriers in Translation of Basic Research into Deliverable Products ? Alternative Metrics for R&D Productivity ? Strategies for Engagement of Non-Traditional Partners in the Research Enterprise ? Use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Accelerate Translation ? Developing a Culture of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in STEM Graduate Programs ? Big Data: Impact on Society ? Translational Research and Implications for G-U-I Partnerships ? Policy Entrepreneurs: Advancing the Presence of Science in the Formation of Government Policy ? Catalyzing University-Industry Engagement to Promote the Nation?s Competitiveness ? STEM Graduate Training and Associated Professional Workforce Development ? Factors in Multi-National R&D Location D. GUIRR will occasionally identify targeted projects and identify a working group to pursue the targeted activities. E. GUIRR will host webinars as a means of bringing information of expected value to GUIRR stakeholders in a more immediate and freely accessible manner. GUIRR will report on attendance for each webinar, and work to increase attendance.
