The traditional funding and incentivizing model for R&D has evolved rapidly within the last decade. Traditional research processes are ill-suited to induce a rapid transition to real-world applications and markets. New and diverse funding structures have been developed to carry technology through from basic research to societal applications. Are these models well suited to work at scale and with the speed needed to keep up with scientific change? This workshop will consider models that address balancing risk and speed for new technologies across multiple players (industry, university, philanthropy, and government) and incentivize risk-taking to address urgent problems not well-served by traditional strategies.
