Research Universities and the Future of America

Research Universities and the Future of America, a new report from The National Academies Press, presents strategies for ensuring that U.S. universities continue to produce the knowledge, ideas, and talent that the United States needs to be a global leader in the 21st century. The report focuses on strengthening and expanding partnerships among universities and government, business, and philanthropy. It also offers 10 actions that Congress, the federal government, state governments, research universities, and others could take to strengthen the research and education missions of U.S. research universities, their relationships with other parts of the national research enterprise, and their ability to transfer new knowledge and ideas to those who productively use them in U.S. society and economy.
