EEC 98-17827HillThis award supports a study that examines the extent to which changes are occurring in private sector firms that engage in cooperative research with colleges and universities and how, if at all, any changes are affecting the willingness of the firms to support academic research centers. One of the major hypotheses is that there has been a broad reorientation of the private sector's attitude toward generic research for a variety of reasons, resulting in less interest in or need to provide financial support of university research. The project objectives are (1) to assess changes in the level of funds provided by the private sector to industry-university research centers; and (2) to identify the organizational and economic factors that have contributed to the observed trends in the availability of funds to support center research. Since the project's emphasis is on the management of research in industry, the focus will be established firms, not small-firm conduct and management. The agencies, universities, and researchers involved in the hundreds of industry-university research centers funded by Federal Government programs should benefit substantially through a better understanding of what pressures, requirements, and interests affect the extent and manner in which firms participate in such enterprises.

EEC 98-17827Hillthis Award支持了一项研究，该研究研究了与学院和大学合作研究的私营部门公司中发生变化的程度，以及是否有任何变化影响公司支持学术研究中心的意愿。主要的假设之一是，出于多种原因，私营部门对通用研究的态度已经广泛重新定向，从而减少了对大学研究的财务支持或需要提供财务支持的兴趣。项目目标是（1）评估私营部门提供给行业 - 大学研究中心的资金水平的变化； （2）确定有助于支持中心研究的资金可用性趋势的组织和经济因素。由于该项目的重点是行业研究的管理，因此重点将是成立的公司，而不是小公司的行为和管理。参与由联邦政府计划资助的数百个行业 - 大学研究中心参与的机构，大学和研究人员应通过更好地理解压力，要求和利益影响公司参与此类企业的程度和方式，从而在基本上受益。
