S&T Resources in the Pacific Rim Nations

通过图书馆搜索和实地访问，国际和平研究所将确定科技数据来源，收集这些信息，并提供环太平洋国家中国、韩国和台湾地区S与科技资源的统计数据基线。PI将评估各种调查、测量和指标的可比性，并确定如何制定一套与科学和技术有关的共同指标，以帮助美国了解这些国家科技进步或缺乏的性质和速度。NSF有责任提供美国和其他国家的科学和工程资源的信息和分析。该项目将为环太平洋国家中国、韩国和台湾提供基本的S&T指标数据。目前，关于这些新兴工业化国家和重要国家的S科技资源的定量信息很少。

Through library searches and on-site visits, the PI's will identify science and technology data sources, collect such information, and provide a baseline of statistical data on S&T resources in the Pacific Rim nations of China, South Korea, and Taiwan. The PI's will evaluate the comparability of various surveys, measurements and indicators, and identify ways in which a set of common scientific and trchnology-related indicators could be developed to aid the United States in understanding the nature and pace of scientific and technological progress, or lack of it, in these countries. NSF has the responsibility to provide information and analysis of the scientific and engineering resources of the United States and other countries. This project will provide basic S&T indicator data for the Pacific Rim countries of China, South Korea, and Taiwan. Very little quantitative information currently exists on the S&T resources of these newly industrializing and important countries.
