A Process for Local Government R and D Needs Identification and Priority-Setting, Resource Document

摘要

The handbook is designed as a how-to-do-it guide for identifying and setting priorities for R&D needs of urban jurisdictions. Target audiences include the Urban Consortium, other technology transfer networks serving local governments, individual state and local governments, Federal agencies, and the general research community dealing with urban concerns, e.g., the Community Technology Initiatives Program and Innovation Groups. An explanation of the organizational structure of the Urban Consortium is followed by five instructional sections replete with graphs, figures, forms, and explanatory text. These delineate needs identification process, needs priority-setting process, updating the needs and priorities, problem solution, and lessons from experience. An appendix contains a needs survey package and blank forms.
