This project extends an existing database (1996-2008) of the educational and employment histories of the entire top management team and board of directors for firms making initial public stock offering to the period from 1988-1996. The ultimate database will include more that 3,500 newly public firms and 35,000 managers and directors providing career path information for these individuals. These individuals are a central channel by which investments in science and engineering (S&E) research are transformed into economic benefits. In this way, the project addresses one of the primary goals of the Science of Science and Innovation Policy, that of evaluating and tracking the tangible but difficult to measure returns from investments in R&D. Intellectual Merit: The database permits exploration of many areas of inquiry regarding innovation and entrepreneurship. The immediate research examines the following topics: First, because the data is drawn from official biographies, it is possible to analyze the national origin and positions immigrants occupy in high-technology startups. This is a powerful contribution, because earlier research has only studied Indian and Chinese immigrants, the data allows the identification of immigrants and provides a rigorous definition rather than one based on extrapolation from surnames. This approach allows a more scientifically valid analysis. Second, the educational background allows the identification of particular universities and departments making inordinate contributions to specific high-technology industries. This can be used to identify key institutions and programs that might provide templates for wider adoption. Third, the new data can be used to examine the degree to which these most successful high-technology firms are located in regional clusters. Broader Impacts. The creation of a comprehensive database of the individuals involved in initial public offerings has transformative potential. The key to the success of the U.S. economy during the last two decades has been S&E-based entrepreneurship. The analysis of this database contributes to academic studies of key human capital, and, as importantly, permits the optimization of S&E policy meant to encourage small business investment and entrepreneurship. The database is made available to all interested researchers, including business school scholars, economists, geographers, and sociologists. Research based on this database should expand our understanding of the individuals responsible for many of the most successful firms in the U.S. economy.

该项目扩展了现有数据库（1996-2008），该数据库涵盖了1988-1996年期间首次公开发行股票的公司的整个高层管理团队和董事会的教育和就业历史。最终的数据库将包括3,500多家新上市公司和35,000名经理和董事，为这些人提供职业道路信息。这些人是科学和工程研究投资转化为经济效益的中心渠道。通过这种方式，该项目解决了科学与创新政策的主要目标之一，即评估和跟踪研发投资的有形但难以衡量的回报。知识价值：该数据库允许探索有关创新和企业家精神的许多领域。直接研究考察了以下主题：首先，由于数据来自官方传记，因此有可能分析移民在高科技初创企业中的国籍和职位。这是一个强有力的贡献，因为早期的研究只研究了印度和中国移民，这些数据允许对移民进行识别，并提供了一个严格的定义，而不是基于姓氏的推断。这种方法允许进行更科学有效的分析。其次，教育背景允许识别特定的大学和院系对特定的高科技产业做出不合理的贡献。这可以用来确定可能为更广泛采用提供模板的关键机构和计划。第三，新的数据可以用来检验这些最成功的高科技公司在区域集群中的分布程度。更广泛的影响。为参与首次公开发行（ipo）的个人建立一个全面的数据库具有变革潜力。过去二十年来，美国经济成功的关键是基于标准普尔的创业精神。对该数据库的分析有助于关键人力资本的学术研究，同样重要的是，有助于优化旨在鼓励小企业投资和创业的s&p；E政策。该数据库可供所有感兴趣的研究人员使用，包括商学院学者、经济学家、地理学家和社会学家。基于这个数据库的研究应该扩大我们对美国经济中许多最成功公司的负责人的理解。
