In the last decade, European Commission (EC) developed an ambitious strategy to promote RRI across Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (H2020). This effort resulted in a significant number of European-funded projects that substantially expanded available knowledge theory, methods implementation RRI. However, various evaluations studies revealed limited diffuse concept. ...

ORNL uses a small portion (<3%) of its overhead budget to perform proof-of-principle type research and to develop capabilities that ensure the Laboratory stays on the cutting edge of science and technology in certain areas. This internal R&D program, formally called Laboratory Directed R&D (LDRD), has two components: Seed Money and Director’s R&D. Seed Money provides an avenue of support for in...

This article presents the main findings of a descriptive study inventorying public health research in Quebec funded by provincial and federal government bodies between 1999 and 2004.

An important component of the Advanced Technology Program’s (ATP) economic evaluation plan for tracking project progress and outcomes is the administration of an electronic survey on a regular basis to participants in all projects funded since 1993. Progress of projects is compared against business plans and projected economic benefit goals outlined in their proposals. The resulting Business Re...

This study shows that the number of autism research grants funded in the US from 1997 to 2006 significantly increased 15% per year. Although the majority of projects were concentrated in basic science (65%) compared to clinical (15%) and translational research (20%), there is a significant decrease in the proportion of basic research grants per year and a significant increase in the proportion ...

The Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS) Aeroacoustics Specialists Committee (ASC) supports and promotes the interests of the scientific and industrial aeroacoustics community on a European scale and European aeronautics activities internationally. In this context, ‘‘aeroacoustics’’ encompasses all aerospace acoustics and related areas. Each year the committee highlights some of the r...

Smart integration of different energy sectors on islands could serve as a key to achieve their independence and carbon neutrality goals facilitate the large-scale penetration renewables.
