Collins 9722544 This award supports a 12 month Science and Technology Agency of Japan (STA) Postdoctoral Fellowship for Dr. Steven W. Collins at the Kanagawa Industrial Technology Research Institute, Ebina, Japan. Dr. Collins will work with Dr. Hikoji Wakoh, Chief Scientist, on a research project entitled "Building Regional Innovation Systems: A Comparative Study of Kanagawa and Osaka, Japan." The proposed research will study the role of regional science and technology transfer policies in promoting local economic development in two Japanese prefectures, Kanagawa and Osaka. Recently in Japan, a major goal of science and technology policy has been to stimulate regional economies by promoting technological innovation that uses resources found in abundance locally. Such policies are based on a growing body of research showing that a richly endowed science and technology infrastructure, coupled with appropriate mechanisms for diffusing and transferring new knowledge, contributes to an entrepreneurial business environment. Notable examples are California's Silicon Valley and North Carolina's Research Triangle, which many local governments in Japan wish to emulate. This study will examine two such regions in Japan, comparing activities and policies of prefectural governments and research institutes aimed at leveraging regional and national resources to promote sustainable development. The results will shed light on the geography of technological innovation, as well as provide insight into differences in regional policies across Japan. Finally, the project will contribute to the Kanagawa Prefectural government's goal of understanding technological innovation in the region and situating it in the broader context of both regional and local science and technology policy across the nation. ***

该奖项为日本神奈川工业技术研究所的Steven W. Collins博士提供为期12个月的日本科学技术振兴机构（STA）博士后奖学金。Collins博士将与首席科学家Hikoji Wakoh博士合作开展一项名为“建立区域创新系统：日本神奈川县和大阪的比较研究”的研究项目。拟议的研究将研究区域科学和技术转让政策在促进日本神奈川县和大阪两个县的地方经济发展方面的作用。最近在日本，科学和技术政策的一个主要目标是通过促进利用当地丰富资源的技术创新来刺激区域经济。这些政策的依据是越来越多的研究表明，资源丰富的科学和技术基础设施加上传播和转让新知识的适当机制有助于企业的商业环境。著名的例子是加利福尼亚的硅谷和北卡罗来纳的三角研究中心，日本的许多地方政府都希望效仿。本研究将审查日本的两个这样的区域，比较地方政府和研究机构旨在利用区域和国家资源促进可持续发展的活动和政策。研究结果将揭示技术创新的地理分布，并为日本各地地区政策的差异提供洞见。最后，该项目将有助于神奈川县政府的目标，即了解该地区的技术创新，并将其置于全国区域和地方科技政策的更广泛背景下。＊＊＊
