On May 12-13, 2021, Jim Kurose, Cheryl Martin, Susan Martinis, and I co-organized an NSF sponsored workshop to discuss the creation of National Networks of Research Institutes. This concept was created to respond to the national need for new types of research institutes that embrace both use-inspired basic research and the active, intentional translation of that research into products and services. The workshop brought together more than 70 leading thinkers from academia, industry, philanthropic foundations, federal agencies, and non-profit organizations, as well as entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The workshop report is now public. Comments and suggestions are most welcome.
