We are responsible for agencies that fund primarily fundamental research or earlier-stage research. We haven't worked directly with the organizations or agencies that will deliver that program. At face value, from my perspective and given my university experience, this will be a huge catalyst towards moving information from the universities and colleges into businesses that directly participate in that, and they will facilitate that kind of collaboration in a very direct way. How that plays out, at the end of the day, I can't comment on, but if it puts people in the same room, and they're focused on the same object, they are bound to start moving ideas, in my experience.
