Some of our other witnesses on this topic have talked about the need for greater incentives for collaboration in partnerships. Over the past 20 years we've seen that some government granting programs, R and D programs, have required collaboration and partnerships, not only between academics and business but also among academics.
Could you comment on the need for stronger interactions between industry, government, and academic leaders? What can government do to improve this, and how important is it? Should that be a focus?
