Along with this interest has come a renewed emphasis on a question that has been asked for decades: Can the impacts and practical benefits of research to society be measured either quantitatively or qualitatively? On April 18-19, 2011, the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) and the Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy (COSEPUP) of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine, held a workshop to examine this question. The workshop sought to assemble the range of work that has been done in measuring research outcomes and to provide a forum to discuss its method. The workshop was motivated by a 2009 letter from Congressman Rush Holt (D-New Jersey). He asked the National Academies to look into a variety of complex and interconnected issues, such as the short-term and long-term economic and non-economic impact of federal research funding, factors that determine whether federally funded research discoveries result in economic benefits, and quantification of the impacts of research on national security, the environment, health, education, public welfare, and decision making. Measuring the impacts of federal investments in research provides the key observations and suggestions made by the speakers at the workshop and during the discussions that followed the formal presentations."--Publisher's description. 606 $aFederal aid to research$zUnited States 606 $aScience and state$zUnited States 606 $aEducation and state$zUnited States 615 0$aFederal aid to research 615 0$aScience and state 615 0$aEducation and state 676 $a338.97306 701 $aOlsen$b Steven$01602366 701 $aMerrill$b Stephen$01851653 712 02$aNational Academies (U.S.).$bCommittee on Measuring Economic and Other Returns on Federal Research Investments. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy. 712 02$aCommittee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (U.S.) 712 12$aMeasuring the Impacts of Federal Investments in Research$f(2011 :$eWashington, D.C.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963277603321 996 $aMeasuring the impacts of federal investments in research$94445833 997 $aUNINA
