The need for evaluation of public sector research and
development activity is critical in today's political environment
to assist policymakers with resource allocation. Methodology for
evaluating public sector research and development activity is
described and illustrated by the author using in-depth case studies
drawn from the research programs at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology. These cases range from newly formed
federal laboratory research initiatives to well-established
research programs. Managerial and evaluative guidelines are
enunciated.
The United States has supported research and development
activity on both the applied and basic research levels for most of
its history. The importance of public sector research has often
been discussed but its effectiveness has not been adequately
reviewed. The need for evaluation of public sector research and
development activity is critical in today's political environment
to assist policymakers with resource allocation. Methodology for
evaluating public sector research and development activity is
described and illustrated by the author using in-depth case studies
drawn from the research programs at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology. These cases range from newly formed
federal laboratory research initiatives to well-established
research programs. Managerial and evaluative guidelines are
enunciated.
This work should be of interest to scholars who deal with
economics in general, public policy, science policy, and public
administration. In addition, practitioners in public administration
and managers of public sector research laboratories on federal and
state levels should find the information useful. Those who depend
on research and development done with public sector money or who
use it to supplement their research programs will also be
interested.
