Title: R&D Partnerships: Government-Industry Collaboration
Authors: Wendy H. Schacht, Science Policy Research Division 
Abstract: Efforts by the 104th Congress to eliminate several government-industry-university research and development partnership programs reflected some opposition to federally funded programs designed to facilitate the commercialization of technology. Within the context of the budget decisions, the 106th Congress is expected to again debate the government's role in promoting collaborative ventures focused on generating new products and processes for the marketplace.
