The mobility of graduate and postdoctoral entrepreneurs from the academic world to the private sector is stimulated by the availability of venture capital for small start-up companies. Federal programs that encourage research consortia and partnerships in the private sector and that fund precompetitive research at small and medium-size companies provide additional impetus to the development of innovative materials technology.

There is a concern that improvements in graduate education programs in developing countries will not ~ _, only meet their own needs for building stronger indigenous research, but will attract home the top researchers and students who currently reside in the United States. One area of special concern is the lack of adequate funding to modernize major research facilities in the United States.
