Morrison Institute for Public Policy, Arizona State University
This report presents results tracked by the CAT Measures, a 21st century assessment tool for enabling policymakers to monitor "en route" performance of their public investments in science and technology research. Developed by Morrison Institute for Public Policy at Arizona State University, the CAT Measures analyze growth supporting three pillars of the knowledge economy: (1) Connections--the networks developed among researchers, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists that help transfer knowledge and generate economic opportunities; (2) Attention--the "buzz" generated by research and research networks that attracts businesses, private investment, and highly skilled workers to a region and; and (3) Talent--the top scientists, students, and technically skilled workers that help make a region fertile ground for research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. The CAT Measures are designed to augment the state's Proposition 301 investment strategy. Their purpose is to: (1) track key knowledge economy impacts from state-supported science and technology research activities; (2) provide timely feedback to policymakers and research managers and; and (3) complement Arizona's existing measures for assessing state science and technology investments. Appended are: (1) Overview of Proposition 301 Research Projects at ASU; and (2) ASU's Annual Performance Measures and Deliverables Reported to Arizona Board of Regents.
