LTER: The Chihuahuan Desert (The Jornada LTER III Consortium)

本项目调查：(1)不同行业学术研究与产业创新之间联系的性质和强度的最新变化；(2)中小企业和大企业在创新基于最新学术研究的程度以及它们利用、利用和互动学术研究的方式上的差异；(3)美国公司和外国公司近年来的创新在多大程度上是基于学术研究的差异；(4)大学开展的研究成功地将知识和诀窍转移到产业的相关因素；(5)导致学术研究人员从事被企业视为对其产品和工艺创新有重大贡献的工作的因素。其目的是为这些重要的主题提供新的线索。基于我们之前在这一领域的工作，来自信息处理、电子、化学、仪器、制药、金属、此外，该报告还收集和分析了石油行业的学术研究人员的数据/信息，这些研究人员被这些行业的公司引用，因为他们对产品和工艺创新做出了特别重大的贡献。基于这类详细的数据，将进行统计分析，其结果应该对试图增加国家学术研究的经济回报的决策者有用。

This project investigates: (1) recent changes in the nature and strength of the links between academic research and industrial innovation in various industries, (2) differences among small, medium-sized and large firms in the extent to which their innovations are based on recent academic research and in the ways in which they tap into, use, and interact with academic research, (3) differences between U.S. and foreign firms in the extent to which their innovations in recent years have been based on academic research, (4) factors associated with the successful transfer to industry of the knowledge and know how resulting from research carried out by universities, and (5) factors leading academic researchers to do work regarded by firms as being significant contributions to their product and process innovations. The purpose is to shed new light on each of these important topics. Building on our previous work in this area, data from firms in the information processing, electronics, chemical, instruments, pharmaceutical, metals, and petroleum industries is collected and analyzed as well as data/information from a sample of academic researchers who have been cited by firms in these industries as having made particularly significant contributions to their product and process innovations. Based on detailed data of this sort, statistical analyses will be carried out, the results of which should be of u se to decision makers attempting to increase the economic payoff from the nation's academic research.
