New Model for University Research and Technology Transfer

As non-profit organizations, universities serve the public good through their primary missions of teaching and conducting fundamental research. In the past, American universities obtained the bulk of their funding in the form of basic research grants from U.S. government agencies such as NSF, NIH, USDA, DOE and the DoD. These grants funded graduate students and their faculty advisors who published their research results to benefit society through the free dissemination of knowledge.
