Discusses how, thus far, research and development throughout the new Bell system has faired well through the divestiture, but how the market imperatives on the new Bell Labs and their offspring may eventually affect the spending patterns on innovation. (JD)

The article describes activities of the Technology Assessment Program of Gallaudet Research Institute to serve the deaf community by focusing on consumers' needs, encouraging research and development, improving technology transfer and dissemination, and nurturing cooperation amid complexity. (DB)

The role of video technology in research and instruction with the deaf at Gallaudet University is described. Studies of sign language and deaf culture have made use of videotapes, various time-code devices numbering each frame, the split screen, the video printer, and videodiscs. (DB)

Research and development (R & D) have been a fundamental of the human performance technology heritage. This treatise is intended to refocus the profession on the importance of R & D, presenting a classification scheme of purposes, methods, and categories for embracing multiple views of R & D. (Author/JOW)

In the information age, Educational Technologists exist in complex, codependent organizations where the information age is demanding changes to our theory and praxis (Reigeluth, 2001). In this paper, the author argues that advanced leadership theory and practice can be used to characterize and design educational technology R&D, along with…

This document reports on federal Research and Development (R&D) funding trends for the last 10 years and explains the sources of Federal R&D revisions. The data are obtained from an annual census of approximately 30 federal agencies that report obligation data to the National Science Foundation Survey of Federal Funds for R&D. (YDS)

This publication reports on the changes in federal and non-federal support for academic research and development (R&D) over the past three decades. The report describes major funding sources for overall academic research and development and sources of support by the science and engineering field. (YDS)

Outlines the reasons for, and the problems involved in, separation of a research center from the University of Michigan in order to become an independent research organization contracting for private and military research. (AL)

The authors, present and recent presidents of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), discuss that organization's endorsement of federal funding for long-term, large-scale educational research and development and its insistence that current competition for funding be both fair and open.
