These are the Survey of Federal Funds for Research and Development and the Survey of Federal Science and Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions. These surveys help reach conclusions about fundamental policy questions, such as whether a given field of research is adequately funded, whether funding is balanced among fields, and whether deficiencies in funding may be contributing to a loss of U.S. scientific or economic competitiveness. However, the survey data are of insufficient quality and timeliness to support many of the demands put on them. In addition the surveys are increasingly difficult to conduct in times of constrained resources, and their technological, procedural, and conceptual infrastructure has not been modernized for procedure or content. Data on Federal Research and Development Investments reviews the uses and collection of data on federal funds and federal support for science and technology and recommends future directions for the program based on an assessment of these uses and the adequacy of the surveys. The book also considers the classification structure, or taxonomy, for the fields of science and engineering."--Publisher's description. 606 $aFederal aid to research$zUnited States$xInformation services 606 $aResearch$zUnited States$xFinance$xInformation services 606 $aScience$zUnited States 606 $aTechnology$zUnited States 615 0$aFederal aid to research$xInformation services. 615 0$aResearch$xFinance$xInformation services. 615 0$aScience 615 0$aTechnology 676 $a339.50973 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792335403321 996 $aData on federal research and development investments$93749669 997 $aUNINA
