Open source the research! I know people don't think this is the best way for a company to do R&D, but it will get tons of people that are interested in whatever you're doing to help for free and as a bonus you can find some great talent. Also, I'm not saying you need to give away the keys to your company. You could only open source select parts of the R&D to not give away your secrets.

Will they though? It requires that some of the target audience are capable to contribute, which is rare in my experience.
