Land Grant InstitutionsFounding 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

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

7
Large Federal Programs Can Make Major Changes in
Infrastructure

• NSF Supercomputer Centers Program
• Access to Supercomputers
