Industry funds in universities: new guidelines emerge from Pajaro Dunes

The Pajaro Dunes conference, organized at the suggestion of Stanford University president Donald Kennedy, brought the presidents and selected faculty members of Stanford, Harvard, MIT, the University of California, and the California Institute of Technology together with senior executives from biotechnology companies which sponsor university research. It produced agreement on an 11-page statement of principles which marks an initial attempt to establish a national consensus on collaboration between universities and industry. The participants have been sent a letter, signed by 25 other university researchers and some prominent union and consumer spokesmen, calling for a second conference to explore additional points of view.
