Research Next is based on literature reviews and interviews. We have also gathered information from Georgia Tech institutional databases, national databases focused on higher education, and a variety of governmental reports about the future of industry, research, national laboratories, and partnerships across these sectors.

Interviews were conducted with internal stakeholders and external collaborators. The internal stakeholder group comprised members of Institute leadership, including the president, provost, executive vice president for Research, vice president for Interdisciplinary Research, vice president for Research Operations, and various members of research leadership from the colleges and labs, including deans, associate deans, Interdisciplinary Research Institute directors, and the director and deputy directors for Research at the Georgia Tech Research Institute. External interviewees consisted of research leadership from several corporations, other research universities, and several research laboratories, across an expansive array of disciplines and markets.
