A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway.
Rebalancing the Future Research Ecosystem: From Vision to Action, hosted by the Government–University–Industry–Philanthropy Research Roundtable (GUIPRR) and the National Science Board (NSB), will bring together leaders across sectors to address urgent needs and structural gaps in the U.S. research enterprise. Sessions will explore public–private alignment, workforce development, national security, and economic incentives. The summit will emphasize producing a concise set of practical, high-impact actions with clearly defined responsibilities, and will translate these outcomes into an accessible format that supports communication with both decision-makers and the public.
Description
A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, in collaboration with the National Science Board, will convene multi-sector and cross-cutting experts in a summit to focus on designing what the next research ecosystem must look like, how to build it, and who needs to lead it--all on a global scale. The summit will explore targeted pilots, institutional reforms, funding approaches, and talent strategies, all shaped with strong input from industry leaders, philanthropic investors, and congressional partners.
Discussion topics will include:
1. Coordination
- How do we reduce fragmentation between sectors?
- How do we surface and resolve conflicts of interest early, rather than reacting after alignment breaks down
2. Strategic Capacity
- What infrastructure do we need to compete?
- How do we align investment across public and private actors to actually build it?
3. International Engagement
- How do we balance promoting and protecting international engagements?
- How best can U.S. investors engage in the international market to support U.S. excellence?
An interactive proceedings-in-brief summarizing discussions at the summit will be prepared by a rapporteur and published by the National Academies Press following institutional peer review.
