Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable The Research Roundtable, sponsored by the National Academies of Sciences and of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine, was created to foster strong American science through effective working relationships among government, universities, and industry. The Research Roundtable provides a unique forum for dialogue among top government, university, and industry leaders of the nation’s science and technology enterprise. The Research Roundtable does not develop advice or recommendations on specific policies or programs within the range of responsibility of participating government officials. This symposium was made possible with funding support from the National Science Foundation.
