9610357 The U. S. University Council on Geotechnical Engineering Research (USUCGER) is a nonprofit and independent organization which represents universities in the U.S. where geotechnical engineering research is conducted. Recently, the paradigm concerning the mechanism of funding research has been significantly altered. While it is believed that the bulk of geotechnical research is currently being funded by federal agencies, the current trend in federal funding is the total monies for research is being reduced. The purpose of this research is to conduct a self- assessment which will provide a benchmark of the current state of geotechnical engineering research, to disseminate it to the profession through various mechanisms, and to establish partnerships with industry. The results will be presented at a workshop of USUCGER members, representatives of funding agencies, and the end-users of geotechnical research. ***

9610357 联合S.大学岩土工程研究理事会（USUCGER）是一个非营利和独立的组织，代表美国进行岩土工程研究的大学。 最近，关于资助研究的机制的范式已经发生了重大变化。 虽然人们认为，目前大部分岩土工程研究是由联邦机构资助的，但目前联邦资助的趋势是研究的总资金正在减少。 这项研究的目的是进行自我评估，这将提供岩土工程研究现状的基准，通过各种机制向专业人员传播，并与工业界建立伙伴关系。 结果将在USUCGER成员、资助机构代表和岩土研究最终用户的研讨会上展示。 ***
