For most sectors, including the business and higher education sectors, NCSES collects data on these activities on a regular basis. However, data on R&D within the nonprofit sector have not been collected in 18 years, a time period which has seen dynamic and rapid growth of the sector. NCSES decided to design and implement a new survey of nonprofits, and commissioned this workshop to provide a forum to discuss conceptual and design issues and methods. Measuring Research and Development Expenditures in the U.S. Nonprofit Sector: Conceptual and Design Issues summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop. This report identifies concepts and issues for the design of a survey of R&D expenditures made by nonprofit organizations, considering the goals, content, statistical methodology, data quality, and data products associated with this data collection. The report also considers the broader usefulness of the data for understanding the nature of the nonprofit sector and their R&D activities. Measuring Research and Development Expenditures in the U. S. Nonprofit Sector will help readers understand the role of nonprofit sector given its enormous size and scope as well as its contribution to identifying new forms of R&D beyond production processes and new technology."--$cPublisher's description. 606 $aResearch$zUnited States$xFinance$xEvaluation 606 $aResearch$zUnited States$xAppropriations and expenditures 615 0$aResearch$xFinance$xEvaluation. 615 0$aResearch$xAppropriations and expenditures. 676 $a338.97306 702 $aHouse$b Carol C. 702 $aRhodes$b Holly G. 702 $aSinha$b Esha 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on National Statistics. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education. 712 12$aMeasuring Research and Development Expenditures in the U.S. Nonprofit Sector : Conceptual and Design Issues (Workshop) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821916803321 996 $aMeasuring research and development expenditures in the U.S. nonprofit sector$94085438 997 $aUNINA
