0505998McMullenThis proposal is to support a planning visit by Dr. Donald F. McMullen and Dr. Michael A. Evans, Pervasive Technology Labs, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. They seek to establish an international research network between the US and Turkey to examine how corresponding research agencies in different countries coordinate to establish research priorities and programs. They plan to establish a core US-Turkey research group, to conduct preliminary research at TUBITAK, the Turkish Government science agency, in Ankara, to plan a reciprocal visit by their collaborators there, and to lay the groundwork for an international workshop on the role of "egovernment" in assisting the coordination of international scientific research. The foreign collaborators are: Dr. Kurat Cayltay, Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology, Middle East Technical University and Dr. Mete Yildiz, Department of Public Administration, Hacettepe University, both in Ankara, Turkey.Intellectual Merit - The research agenda is unique. For the most part egovernment studies have narrowly focused on the interaction of citizens with government services and processes, and not as much on interactions between government agencies. There are no reported studies on the interactions between similar agencies in different countries in the service of scientific discovery. An understanding of the knowledge requirements for coordination between agencies with similar missions and an understanding of the degree to which the satisfaction of these requirements could be subsumed by an information system would be a useful addition to the field. As an initial approach the PIs plan to examine the interactions between the NSF and TUBITAK. Turkey is chosen as the initial participating international partner for four reasons: 1) Turkish students are among the top-ten in number of foreign nationals studying in the US and thus a large source for "brain drain"; 2) Turkey plays an important role in the Middle East acting as a bridge between the Central Asia republics of the Russian Federation and Europe; 3) Turkey is held up as a model for neighboring countries in the region for many aspects, including a growing market economy, democracy and education; and 4) Turkey is aggressively working to organize government, industry, and academia for scientific and engineering research purposes.Broader Impacts - The major benefit of the project will be the development of a research network to investigate interagency coordination and knowledge discovery in international scientific collaborations among US and Turkish (and possibly other Middle Eastern) researchers. The expected benefits anticipated are as follows: 1) A network of researchers investigating international interagency coordination and scientific collaboration will be established between the US and Turkey (and possibly interested Middle Eastern countries); 2) A long-term research agenda to study the possibilities and consequences of e-Government initiatives between the US and the Middle East will be initiated. 3) The identification of salient variables that inhibit or facilitate coordination and collaboration will be identified and investigated. 4) Recommendations for policy changes to facilitate coordination and collaboration among participating countries will be offered. 5) Requirements for socio-technical systems to implement policy changes and facilitate future coordination and collaboration will be derived.

0505998 McMullen本提案旨在支持Donald F. McMullen和Michael A.埃文斯，普适技术实验室，印第安纳州大学，布卢明顿，印第安纳州。 他们寻求在美国和土耳其之间建立一个国际研究网络，以研究不同国家的相应研究机构如何协调，以确定研究重点和项目。他们计划建立一个核心的美国-土耳其研究小组，在安卡拉的土耳其政府科学机构TUBITAK进行初步研究，计划他们的合作者进行回访，并为关于“电子政府”在协助协调国际科学研究方面的作用的国际研讨会奠定基础。外国合作者是：Kurat Cayltay博士，中东技术大学计算机教育和教学技术系; Mete Yildiz博士，Hacettepe大学公共行政系，均在土耳其安卡拉。在大多数情况下，电子政务研究狭隘地关注公民与政府服务和流程的互动，而不是政府机构之间的互动。没有关于不同国家的类似机构在科学发现服务中相互作用的研究报告。 了解具有类似任务的机构之间协调所需的知识，了解信息系统在多大程度上可以满足这些要求，将是对外地工作的有益补充。作为初步办法，项目执行员计划审查国家科学基金会和土耳其科学技术研究理事会之间的相互作用。土耳其被选为最初参与的国际伙伴有四个原因：1）土耳其学生是在美国学习的外国公民人数的前十名之一，因此是“人才外流”的主要来源; 2）土耳其在中东发挥着重要作用，是俄罗斯联邦和欧洲中亚共和国之间的桥梁; 3）土耳其在许多方面被视为该地区邻国的典范，包括不断发展的市场经济、民主和教育; 4）土耳其正在积极努力组织政府，工业，更广泛的影响-该项目的主要好处将是发展一个研究网络，以调查国际上的机构间协调和知识发现。美国和土耳其（可能还有其他中东）研究人员之间的科学合作。预期的预期好处如下：1）美国和土耳其（以及可能感兴趣的中东国家）之间将建立一个研究国际机构间协调和科学合作的研究人员网络; 2）将启动一项长期研究议程，以研究美国和中东之间电子政务举措的可能性和后果。3)将确定并调查抑制或促进协调与合作的突出变量。4)将提出政策改革建议，以促进参与国之间的协调与合作。5)将得出对社会技术系统的要求，以实施政策变化和促进未来的协调与合作。
