Abstract

The emergence of the cooperative university-industry R&D paradigm several decades ago, and the vigorous efforts of the federal government to encourage these R&D partnerships represented a substantial change in traditional U.S. R&D efforts. One of the primary goals of R&D policy over the past decades was to support domestic cooperation in the hope of increasing the international competitiveness of U.S. industry. The laws passed and other efforts undertaken on the national level vastly altered the environment of U.S. R&D.
