This project remedies one of the greatest impediments to rapid progress in the science of science and innovation policy (SciSIP) both as a field of study and as a guide to policy: the lack of an integrated database which can trace the links from government investment in R&D through the path of knowledge creation, its transmission and codification, and ultimately in many cases to commercial uses yielding a better standard of living and better jobs. Specifically, the project completes, validates, demonstrates the utility of, and makes available to the research community the Science & Technology Agents of Revolution (STAR) Database which is a transformative platform technology for analyses in whole or part of the creation, transmission, and use of new scientific and engineering knowledge, the creation of new commercial technologies in pre-existing and/or new firms, and the success of those firms as engines of wealth creation and employment growth. The STAR database integrates and complements key databases on science and innovation by a system of unique IDs for firms and other organizations and for individual scientists and engineers as they appear as principal investigators, authors, dissertation writers or advisors, inventors, and/or firm officers, directors, and key employees. Especially the most productive of these scientists ? the ?star innovators? ? wear many hats simultaneously. The STAR database integrates data on government grants, journal articles, dissertations, patents, venture capital, initial public offerings, and other firm data. It links to major public databases via widely used financial market identifiers. In collaboration with the Census Bureau, the STAR and the Census firm and worker databases are linked by a concordance for use by researchers with access to the Census data. The STAR database will have three tiers: a public graphics-based site primarily oriented toward policymakers and the media, a public site providing access to researchers for downloads and database queries limited to the public constituent databases or aggregates derived from the licensed commercial databases, and on-site access at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) providing researchers access to the complete STAR Database for building take-away analysis datasets.Broader Impacts: This project is designed specifically for broader impact. It will provide a shared database that will advance discovery, and enable research otherwise impossibly expensive for nearly any dissertation student or faculty member not located at one of the few elite institutions where significant parts of the STAR Database are available. Real data will bring excitement to classroom assignments on topics that in the abstract can deaden students' interest. Most of the data are available on-line with the commercially licensed part of the data available for building take-away analysis data sets at the NBER and for use within all the Census Bureau?s Research Data Centers. These data enable both academic and government researchers to build reliable and tested answers to fundamental administration and Congressional questions about the variety of returns to government investments in research. Zucker and Darby pursue an active outreach program to get their results to policymakers and the press in a form that they can use.

该项目弥补了科学与创新政策科学(SciSIP)作为研究领域和政策指南的快速发展的最大障碍之一：缺乏一个综合数据库，可以通过知识创造、传播和编纂的路径追踪政府对研发投资的联系，最终在许多情况下是产生更好的生活水平和更好的工作的商业用途。具体地说，该项目完成、验证、展示了科学与技术革命代理人(STAR)数据库的效用，并向研究界提供了这一数据库，该数据库是一种变革性的平台技术，用于分析新的科学和工程知识的创造、传播和使用，以及在现有和/或新公司中创造新的商业技术，以及这些公司作为财富创造和就业增长引擎的成功。STAR数据库通过公司和其他组织以及科学家和工程师个人的唯一ID系统整合和补充关于科学和创新的关键数据库，因为他们是首席研究员、作者、论文作者或顾问、发明人和/或公司官员、董事和关键员工。尤其是这些科学家中最高产的？明星创新者？？同时戴多顶帽子。STAR数据库整合了政府拨款、期刊文章、学位论文、专利、风险投资、首次公开募股和其他公司数据。它通过广泛使用的金融市场标识符链接到主要的公共数据库。在与人口普查局的合作下，STAR和人口普查公司和工作人员数据库通过一个整合项连接在一起，供研究人员使用，以访问人口普查数据。STAR数据库将有三层：主要面向政策制定者和媒体的基于图形的公共网站，向研究人员提供下载和数据库查询的公共网站，仅限于公共组成数据库或从许可的商业数据库派生的聚合，以及国家经济研究局(NBER)的现场访问，为研究人员提供访问完整的STAR数据库以建立外卖分析数据集。广泛影响：该项目专门为更广泛的影响而设计。它将提供一个共享数据库，促进发现，并使几乎任何不在STAR数据库重要部分可用的少数精英机构之一的学位论文学生或教员进行研究，否则成本高得令人难以置信。真实的数据将为课堂作业带来兴奋，这些作业的主题在抽象上可能会降低学生的兴趣。大多数数据都是通过商业许可的数据部分在线获得的，这些数据可用于在国家经济研究局建立外卖分析数据集，并可在人口普查局S研究数据中心内使用。这些数据使学术和政府研究人员都能够找到可靠的、经过测试的答案，以回答有关政府研究投资回报多样性的基本管理和国会问题。扎克和达比推行了一项积极的外联计划，以一种他们可以使用的形式将他们的结果传达给政策制定者和媒体。
