A planning committee will organize the second workshop in the Government, University, Industry, and Philanthropy Research Roundtable (GUIPRR) series on Vision to Action, “The Economic Future of the U.S. Research Enterprise: From Vision to Value.” The workshop will explore how reforms to the U.S. research ecosystem can generate measurable economic and workforce outcomes.

• opportunities where coordinated action among government (federal, state, local, tribal), universities, industry, and philanthropy could deliver visible and lasting value for the nation.
