The purpose of the proposed study is to extend a data base that was initially developed to examine the extent to which technological innovations in various industries have been dependent on recent academic research. The extended data base would identify the academic groups and institutions which were responsible for research that led to major industrial advances, determine sources of financial support at various stages of the research as well as the sources of ideas for these projects. Data would be obtained on about 50 to 100 innovations identif- ied by 40 or 50 firms as leading to new products or processes that would not have been developed without academic research. The results of this study should provide valuable information to science policy makers. New information will be available on the types of research groups and kinds of universities that have been relatively successful in promoting significant industrial innovation and whether they have been the most highly rated in the relevant discipline. Given the current emphasis on the role of science and technology in promoting economic growth and the competitiveness of American industry, it should be helpful to know whether certain funding agencies, foundation, or firms have supported a disproportion- ate share of research leading to industrial innovation. The results will also address the extent to which targeted or un- targeted research is more productive of findings important for innovation.

这项研究的目的是扩展一个数据库， 最初是为了研究 各行业的技术创新， 根据最近的学术研究。 扩展数据库 将确定学术团体和机构， 负责导致重大工业进步的研究， 确定各阶段的财政支助来源， 研究以及这些项目的想法来源。 将获得大约50至100项创新的数据， 40或50家公司的IED导致了新产品或新工艺 如果没有学术研究是不可能发展出来的。 这项研究的结果应该提供有价值的 为科学决策者提供信息。新的信息将 研究小组的类型和种类 在促进教育方面相对成功的大学 重大工业创新以及它们是否已经 在相关学科中评价最高。 鉴于 当前对科学和技术在促进发展中的作用的强调 促进经济增长和美国的竞争力 行业，了解某些资金是否 机构、基金会或公司支持不成比例的行为- 分享导致产业创新的研究。 的 结果还将涉及有针对性或非针对性的 有针对性的研究更能产生重要的发现， 创新
