Workshop on Research Assessment for Experts from US and G-8 Countries

研讨会的目标是：向G-8代表简要介绍美国研究评估活动的作用、方法和影响；比较和对比美国和其他八国集团的研究评估方法；制定研究评估的最佳做法；确定尚未解决的主要研究和实施问题；并为八国集团成员在研究评估活动中发展合作政策和研究网络作出贡献。假设这些目标得以实现，所有进行或支持研究的美国机构都将受益于研究评估和确定主要未解决问题的最佳实践的发展和传播。研究界也将受益于传播关于比较研究评价方法的资料。

Abstract OIA-0226068The objectives of the workshop are to: brief G-8 representatives on the roles, methodologies, and impacts of research assessment activities in the United States; compare and contrast U.S. and other G-8 approaches to research assessment; develop best-practices in research assessment; identify major unresolved research and implementation issues; and contribute to the development of collaborative policy and research networks in research assessment activities among G-8 members.Assuming these objectives are realized, all US agencies that conduct or support research will benefit from the development and dissemination of best practices in research assessment and the identification of major unresolved issues. The research community will also benefit from the dissemination of information on comparative methodologies for research assessment.
