Title
Finding our future: a research agenda for the research enterprise
Abstract
The NSF Digital Government research program helps to develop new research themes by sponsoring preliminary explorations and workshops to outline emerging areas of inquiry. One area which was recently explored in this way is the grants making and grants management process by which the federal government distributes more than $100 billion each year. The project included focus groups and interviews with grants-making organizations, investigators, and grants management professionals and culminated in a multidisciplinary workshop to produce a recommended research agenda. This investigation identified the characteristics of an ideal grants-supported research enterprise and discussed the challenges that the enterprise faces today. It offered thematic and integrative research agendas, as well as action recommendations that could generate near-term benefits. This paper is drawn from the final project report, Finding our future: A research agenda for the research enterprise.
