1990 Survey of Academic Research Facilities

承包商将进行1990年学术研究设施调查，这是对高等教育机构的抽样调查，收集有关科学和工程研究设施的现状和条件的数据。当局在一九八六年进行了一项“快速反应调查”，并在一九八八年进行了一项更详细的全面设施调查。1990年后续研究所涉及的任务包括进行数据收集活动，将数据结果制表，为国家科学基金会自己对数据的分析使用提供所需的技术支助，以及编制一份总结研究结果的最后分析报告，以便于1990年9月提交国会。关于生物医学科学的第二份分析报告将提交给这项研究的共同赞助者美国国立卫生研究院。1985年的授权法案(公法99-159)指示国家科学基金会“……设计、建立和维持基金会的数据收集和分析能力，以确定和评估大学的研究设施需求。”这项研究是根据上述任务而启动的，提供了关于现有研究设施的数量、费用和状况以及当前和计划中的建造和维修/翻新活动的定量和定性信息，包括这些基本建设项目的资金来源。

The contractor will carry out the 1990 Survey of Academic Research Facilities, a sample survey of higher education institutions that collects data on the status and condition of science and engineering research facilities. A "Quick Response Survey" was conducted in 1986 followed by a more detailed full- scale facilities survey in 1988. Tasks involved in the 1990 followup study include conduct of data collection activities, tabulation of data results, provision of technical support as required for the National Science Foundation's own analytical uses of the data, and production of a final analytical report summarizing the results of the study, for submission to Congress in September 1990. A second analytical report on the biomedical sciences will be prepared for the National Institutes of Health, co-sponsors of the study. The Authorization Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-159) directed NSF to "...design, establish, and maintain a data collection and analysis capability in the Foundation for the purpose of identifying and assessing research facilities needs of universities." This study, initiated in response to the above mandate, provides quantitative and qualitative information on the amount, cost, and condition of existing research facilities as well as current and planned construction and repair/renovation activities, including the sources of funding for these capital projects.
