_____________________________________________________________________________
Background
The Panel to Review Research and Development Statistics at the National Science Foundation, National Research Council, in April, 2002. Lawrence Brown chairs the panel. He is the Miers Busch Professor of Statistics at the University of Pennsylvania.
The panel will conduct an in-depth and broad-based study activity to look at the National Science Foundation’s Science Resources Statistics (SRS) Research and Development Statistics Program. The goal is to look at how R& D surveys are currently conducted and how they should be conducted to capture the country’s R&D activities over the coming decade. The panel will conduct its work in cooperation with a panel of the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) over a 24-month period. The panel will make recommendations including overall priorities among the possible improvements in the data collection system and publish those recommendations along with supporting findings. The recommendations shall be sensitive to the means and feasibility of proposed changes in the data collection system.
