University, Industry, Federal Cooperation-A Case Study

The cooperation of industry and academic organizations in research and development in high technology areas is discussed frequently as a means for supporting and developing the brainpower and intellectual products necessary to maintain the United States' world lead in high technology and compete with national efforts initiated by such countries as Japan, Germany, France, and Great Britain. Cooperative efforts can be a powerful mechanism for industry to gain access to the highquality research capabilities in universities and to support undergraduate and graduate education (thereby increasing the human resource base for expanding industries). In an era of declining Federal support, industrial participation in university programs seems to be a good way for universities to gain the up-to-date, sophisticated technology base necessary to conduct research and education, to attract and keep good faculty and students, and to stem the tide of those who are electing to forego the university and join industry for better salaries and better research opportunities.
