This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, Congress requested an independent evaluation of Department of Defense (DoD) policies toward independent research and development (IR & D). RAND was ask to undertake a study that would 1) clarify the goals of IR & D (explain how DoD support of IR & D can serve the national interest); 2) assess whether certain DoD administrative and financial arrangements promote or thwart the goals of IR & D; and 3) evaluate the IR & D process overall, determining to what extent it contributes distinctively to U.S. national defense. This report examined the benefits and costs of DoD support of IR & D, how to administer such a program and recommendations. Topics include: Cost recovery allocations; Accountability for public funds; Incentives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rising median age at which PhD's receive their first research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is among the factors forcing academic biomedical researchers to spend longer periods of time before they can set their own research directions and establish there independence. The fear that promising prospective scientists will choose other career paths has raised concerns about the future of biomedical research in the United States. At the request of NIH, the National Academies conducted a study on ways to address these issues. The report recommends that NIH make fostering independence of biomedical researchers an agencywide goal, and that it take steps to provide postdocs and early-career investigators with more financial support for their own research, improve postdoc mentoring and establish programs for new investigators and staff scientists among other mechanisms.
Download or read book How DoD Policy Affects Private Expenditure on Independent Research and Development written by Frank A. Camm and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) maintains a policy that is designed to reimburse defense contractors for a portion of their spending on Independent Research and Development (IR & D). DOD pays for a great deal of research and development directly through contracts. IR & D is research and development that DOD does not contract for directly. IR & D policy is designed to encourage defense contractors to invest in this form of research and development despite the lack of direct contracts for research and development. It is often associated with Bid and Proposal (B & P) funds, which DOD provides to contractors in a similar way. Those who support maintaining the independence of IR & D argue that it increases private spending on defense research and development, provides defense options that government officials may not think of, and enhances the transfer of technology from scientists to weapons developers by giving developers a direct stake in the scientists' work. Section II presents a simple economic model of IR & D. Section III uses this model to review the economic approach taken in each study. Section IV compares the studies' estimates of the size of subsidy created by IR & D policy and the effects of IR & D policy on private spending on IR & D. Section V concludes the comparison and suggests directions for future research.

Download or read book The Independent Research Development Cost Definition written by Arthur Michael Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Armed Services Procurement Regulations Committee promulgated the current definition for Independent Research and Development (IR&D) costs in 1971. That definition excludes from IR&D the cost of effort 'required in the performance of a contract.' This language has long perplexed contractors and the government resulting in difficulty in determining when to charge the cost of certain development effort as an IR&D cost. Moreover, this IR&D regulatory definition is inconsistent with other more current regulations defining direct and indirect costs, and fails to reflect the current government policy encouraging contractors to engage in IR&D effort. Finally, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals recent decision in ATK Thiokol, Inc. v. United States found this regulatory language to be ambiguous. Unfortunately, the Federal Circuit's interpretation of the language creates additional problems by letting the individual contracting parties determine what is an IR&D cost. For the reasons discussed below, this paper proposes changing the definition of IR&D costs from excluding the cost of effort 'required in the performance of a contract' to exclude those costs 'specifically identified with a contract.'"--Leaf ii.
