Exploratory Visit in USSR on Indicators of Public Attitudes Toward Science and Technology

美国国家科学基金会（NSF）希望调查 将苏联加入到世界名单中的可能性 国外的科学和工程数据 收集这些数据是为了与美国的数据进行比较， 并发表在《科学与工程指标》上。 其中一个重要的关注领域是公众的调查数据， 对科学和工程的态度。 为了 探讨与开展合作的可能性 苏联在这方面，有必要确定和 与苏联的相关研究人员取得联系，到 表明他们愿意履行国家意见 与未来科学研究协调， 和工程指标调查， 美国，并获得必要的资源。 美利坚大学的琳达·鲁布拉诺教授是一位专家， 关于苏联社会科学研究和 科学和工程的组织和管理 苏联通过她在苏联的广泛联系 科学界，她将启动探索性接触， 在这个领域的国家科学基金会。 可以设想 随后的合作工作将在 国家科学基金会-苏联科学院备忘录 在基础科研领域的理解。

The National Science Foundation (NSF) wishes to investigate the possibility of adding the Soviet Union to the list of foreign countries in which data on science and engineering are collected so as to be comparable to U.S. data compiled by the NSF and published in Science and Engineering Indicators. One of the key areas of interest is survey data of public attitudes toward science and engineering. In order to explore the possibility of undertaking cooperative work with the U.S.S.R. in this area, it is necessary to identify and make contact with appropriate researchers in the U.S.S.R., to establish their willingness to perform a national opinion survey in that country in coordination with a future Science and Engineering Indicators survey to be performed in the United States, and to obtain the necessary resources. Professor Linda Lubrano of American University is an expert on Soviet social science research and on the general state of the organization and management of science and engineering in the U.S.S.R. Through her extensive contacts in the Soviet scientific community she will initiate exploratory contacts on behalf of the NSF in this area. It is envisioned that subsequent cooperative work would take place under the auspices of the NSF-U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Memorandum of Understanding in the Field of Basic Scientific Research.
