National Patterns of R&D Resources is an annual report issued
by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics
(NCSES) of the National Science Foundation, which provides a
national view of current 'patterns' in funding of R&D
activities in government, industry, academia, federally funded
research and development centers, and non-profits. Total R&D
funds are broken out at the national level by type of provider,
type of recipient, and whether the R&D is basic, applied, or
developmental. These patterns are compared both longitudinally
versus historical R&D amounts, and internationally. This report
series, which is based on input from several censuses and surveys,
is used to formulate policies that, e.g., might increase incentives
to support different types, sources, or recipients of R&D than
is currently the case. To communicate these R&D patterns, each
report is composed of a set of tabulations of national R&D
disaggregated by type of donor, type of recipient, and type of
R&D. While this satisfies many key user groups, the question
was whether some modifications of the report could attract a wider
user community and at the same time provide more useful information
for current users. National Patterns of R&D Resources: Future
Directions for Content and Methods addresses the following
questions: (1) what additional topics and tabulations could be
presented without modifying the current portfolio of R&D
censuses and surveys, (2) what additional topics and tabulations
might be presented by expanding these current data collections, (3)
what could be done to enhance international comparability of the
tabulations, (4) since much of the information on non-profit
R&D providers and recipients is estimated from 15 year-old
data, what impact might this be having on the quality of the
associated National Patterns tabulations, (5) what statistical
models could be used to support the issuance R&D estimates at
state-level and geographic regions below the national level, (6)
what use could be made from the recent development of
administrative sources of R&D information, and finally, (7)
what graphical tools could be added to the current tabulations to
enhance the communication of R&D patterns to the users of this
series of publications. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
