Development and Performance of a Nationwide Civil Engineering R&D Survey

本研究将试图确定当前美国土木工程相关研发资金的水平，资助组织，研究人员，以及以下部门的研究重点领域：-联邦政府-州政府-私营企业（设计公司，承包商，制造商等）- 调查结果应直接关系到所有联邦机构和私营部门的利益，有助于确定设计和建筑行业的研发水平，以及整体研发重点。研究结果应为未来的研发投资、战略和确定研究资金缺口提供有用的基准参考框架。为使这项调查能最大限度地用于建立设计和建造业的研发基线，它还应有助于与其他国家公布的土木工程研发数字进行比较。

This study will attempt to identify the current level of U.S. civil engineering related R&D funding, the funding organizations, the research performers, and the areas of research emphasis for the following sectors: - Federal Government - State Government - Private Industry (design firms, contractors, manufacturers, etc.) - Non-Profits - Colleges & Universities The survey results should be of direct interest to all Federal agencies, and the private sector by helping to define levels of R&D in the design and construction industry, as well as the overall R&D focus. The results should provide a useful baseline frame of reference for future R&D investments, strategies, and in the identification of gaps in research funding. For this survey to be of maximum use in establishing a design and construction industry R&D baseline, it should also facilitate comparison with civil engineering R&D figures published in other countries.
