The Govemment-University-Industry Research Roundtable, sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine, was established in 1984 as an alternative to the traditional study commission approach to science and technology policy issues. The vision of all those involved in the initial concept was tha the Roundtable "could accomplish what present structures have been unable to do" in addressing major policy issues, problems, and opportunities in the research associations between universities and their principal partners, industry and government.
