Since the 1950s, under congressional mandate, the U.S. National
Science Foundation (NSF) - through its National Center for Science
and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) and predecessor agencies - has
produced regularly updated measures of research and development
expenditures, employment and training in science and engineering,
and other indicators of the state of U.S. science and technology. A
more recent focus has been on measuring innovation in the corporate
sector. NCSES collects its own data on science, technology, and
innovation (STI) activities and also incorporates data from other
agencies to produce indicators that are used for monitoring
purposes - including comparisons among sectors, regions, and with
other countries - and for identifying trends that may require
policy attention and generate research needs. NCSES also provides
extensive tabulations and microdata files for in-depth analysis.
Capturing Change in Science, Technology, and Innovation assesses
and provides recommendations regarding the need for revised,
refocused, and newly developed indicators of STI activities that
would enable NCSES to respond to changing policy concerns. This
report also identifies and assesses both existing and potential
data resources and tools that NCSES could exploit to further
develop its indicators program. Finally, the report considers
strategic pathways for NCSES to move forward with an improved STI
indicators program. The recommendations offered in Capturing Change
in Science, Technology, and Innovation are intended to serve as the
basis for a strategic program of work that will enhance NCSES's
ability to produce indicators that capture change in science,
technology, and innovation to inform policy and optimally meet the
needs of its user community.
