“Defining Values of Research and Technology:
The University's Changing Role”
Center for Advanced Study
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL
April 11, 2001
Land Grant Institutions
Founding Principles
• The Universities Were Founded to:
– Educate a Broad Workforce and Citizenry
– Perform Research to Create More Productive
Economy
– Provide Services to the Economic Creators
• Clear Coupling to Economy:
– Agriculture
– Manufacturing
– Embedded in a Liberal Arts Education
• Morrill Act
– Federal Support for State Functions
The Land Grant Values are Reflected

PITAC Findings and Recommendations
• Federal Funding Has:
– Seeded High-Risk Research
– Yielded Many Billion-Dollar Industries
– Trained Most of Our Leading IT Researchers
– Created Ideas Which Freely Flow From
Universities and National Labs to Existing and
New Companies
• The United States Must Not Only Continue, but
Also Substantially Increase, Long-term
Fundamental Information Technology Research
Programs in Universities
Large Federal Programs Can Make
Major Changes in Infrastructure

Characteristics of PACI
• Federal Government is Primary Fund Source
– Defines the Program, Holds the Competition
– Evaluates the Progress
• State Supports Fed Initiative Thru Cost Sharing
– Major Source for Staff Salary
– Extra Funds for New Buildings
• Industrial Partners Leverage Federal Funding:
– Proprietary Projects Which Led to New Capabilities
– Funds for New Initiatives
– Focus on Large Companies Using Information Tech.
• Community Outreach Created New Organizations
– CCnet
Private Donors Can Link Public Universities,
Industry, and Federal Funds
• UIUC Beckman Institute
