18. 18 CONCLUSIONS RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES AND THE AGENCIES WITH WHICH THEY DEAL HAVE SIMILAR GOALS. THE TRADITIONAL PARTNESHIP BETWEEN RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR GOVERNMENT SPONSORS IS UNDER STRESS. CONSTRAINTS IMPOSED BY THE AGENCIES ARE INCREASING AND ARE FINANCIALLY BURDENSOME. A NEW BUSINESS MODEL NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE IMPACT OF THESE CONSTRAINTS ON THE UNIVERSITIES. THIS PROCESS OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RE- BALANCE THE PARTNERSHIP FOR THE FUTURE.
