The increasing professionalisation, mixed profiles, and institutional formal recognition of research managers and administrators (RMAs), namely at higher education institutions, has led to an increasing but modest volume of academic studies focused on their professional identity, roles, functions and impact. Based on an extensive literature…

This study looks at some of the traits that characterized Argentina's scientific and university policies under the military regime that spanned from 1976 through 1983. To this end, it delves into a rarely explored empirical observation: financial resource transfers from national universities to the National Scientific and Technological Research…

Discusses the formulation of science policy--the decisions and legislation that dictate what research and development will be performed through which federal agencies and with what resources. Highlights the legislative process and the budget cycle in the executive and legislative branches. (JRH)

Provides a breakdown of topics of support covered in the 1977 fiscal year proposed budgets for the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). (CP)

Examines the gap between American and Soviet science, tracing the gap to overcentralization, an aversion to risk, and emphasis on theory at the expense of application. Indicates that Soviet leaders are aware of some of the problems but that barriers to reform remain strong and prospects for real change are limited. (JN)

These hearings consist of testimony by and the prepared statement of George A. Keyworth II (science advisor to President Reagan and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy) on the Reagan administration's science and technology policy and the proposed fiscal year 1986 budget for research and development (R&D). Supporting…

This report presents information summarizing changes in research and development resulting from the revised budget for the fiscal years 1981 and 1982 transmitted to the Congress by the President of the United States in March, 1981. Adjustments in the funding of research and development are summarized by major R&D agency, and Federal expenditures…

Presented are data based on the revised 1982 federal budget indicating that national research and development (R&D) spending should increase significantly by 1982, particularly in the area of national defense. Summaries are presented, in chart form, of past and projected financial support for basic research, applied research and development. (SK)

Focus is on the $30.6 billion portion of the federal budget for fiscal year 1980 that is allotted to research and development. Budgets discussed include those of colleges and universities, the National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, Defense Department, Agriculture Department, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and…

Compares federal research and development funding for 1976 through 1978 in terms of agency breakdown and type of research. (MLH)

Under President Clinton's budget plan for fiscal 1995, the rise in federal funding for research and development at universities, although modest, compares well with cuts made in many federal programs. Data for proposed spending in the Department of Education and other federal agencies are presented and compared with fiscal 1993 and 1994. (MSE)

This report on Federal agency research and development (R&D) is based on the FY 1983 Presidential budget which continues the economic revitalization policies initiated in the previous year's budget. While the report emphasizes analyses of detailed data on R&D performers, fields of science, and geographic distribution of R&D, it also…

This report discusses the support of research and development (R&D) by the federal government through appropriate agencies; it uses data from an annual survey of federal agencies following the preparation of their budgets for 1984. Therefore, this information reflects the continuation of Reagan administration policies to strengthen the United…

Described is the federal government's budgeting process for allocating resources to research and development (R&D).
