There is a program hosted by the US National Academies called the Government-University-Industry Round Table that I just very recently learned about, which I think will be of interest to CNI-announce readers who may not be familiar with it. General information is at

Of particular relevance, this group held a two-day discussion on the implications of big data for research, which included several interesting presentations. Information on this session (including some of the presentations) can be found at:
