Final Report on the Effectiveness of the Air Force Nondestructive Inspection Program

Enhancing the Effectiveness of Sustainability Partnerships:

Summary of a Workshop

Sustainable development--meeting human needs while nurturing and restoring the planet's life support systems--requires a continuous process of scientific innovation, new knowledge and learning, and collaborative approaches to implementing technologies and policies. To address these challenges, different stakeholder groups are increasingly seeking to ally themselves through partnership, in order to implement projects, deliver services, establish secure funding mechanisms, and achieve on the ground results. Advocates of this collaborative approach point to the failure of governmental regulations, international commitments, or business as usual. However, skeptics often question the effectiveness of partnerships at achieving sustainable development goals and, in the absence of demonstrated results, wonder where partnerships are adding value. A symposium held in June 2008 and summarized in this volume, attempted to advance the dialogue on partnerships for sustainability in order to catalyze existing knowledge and inform future efforts. Ideas that came out of discussions at the symposium will help leaders in government, the private sector, foundations and NGOs, and universities, both in the United States and internationally, as they develop and participate in new partnerships for sustainability.

International Developments in Computer Science

A Report

Further, a fair number of Europeans have American Ph.D.'s and tend to maintain
their ties to the United States. The better U.S. universities and research
laboratories usually have at least one European visitor in computer sciences
each year, and often more. The American conferences on theory of computation,
principles of programming languages, and so on, are well attended by
Europeans. In addition, the major research journals, such as the Journal of the
Association for Computing ...

Future Materials Science Research on the International Space Station

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is attempting to
capitalize on this delay by reviewing the SSFF Core project with respect to the
specific research capabilities afforded by the facility, the technology being
developed and its usefulness to the U.S. materials science community, and the
procedures for identifying the research to be conducted using the SSFF Core. To
facilitate its review, NASA requested that the National Research Council conduct
a study to (1) ...

A Decade of International Climate Research

The First Ten Years of World Climate Research Program

WCRP Polar Components The polar research community has been represented
in the WCRP primarily by the Working Group on Sea Ice and Climate (WGSIC).
This group, which met four times during the 1980s, has maintained an excellent
dialogue with the JSC and with the Working Group on Numerical
Experimentation (WGNE). No WCRP projects have focused specifically on sea
ice. However, sea ice research sponsored for purposes other than climate
contributed to WCRP ...

International Animal Research Regulations:

Impact on Neuroscience Research: Workshop Summary

Animals are widely used in neuroscience research to explore biological mechanisms of nervous system function, to identify the genetic basis of disease states, and to provide models of human disorders and diseases for the development of new treatments. To ensure the humane care and use of animals, numerous laws, policies, and regulations are in place governing the use of animals in research, and certain animal regulations have implications specific to neuroscience research. To consider animal research regulations from a global perspective, the IOM Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, in collaboration with the National Research Council and the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research, held a workshop in Buckinghamshire, UK, July 26-27, 2011. The workshop brought together neuroscientists, legal scholars, administrators, and other key stakeholders to discuss current and emerging trends in animal regulations as they apply to the neurosciences. This document summarizes the workshop.

United States Interests and Needs in the Coordination of International Oceanographic Research

CHAPTER 4 BILATERAL AGREEMENTS ON MARINE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Experience with formal bilateral agreements directly concerning marine research
is relatively recent, apart from agreements establishing bilateral fishery
commissions with regular staffs. In the case of oceanography, the use of formal
bilateral agreements (in contrast to ad_ hoc, one-time, and private arrangements)
began in the l970s and involves primarily the most advanced maritime nations.

Examining Core Elements of International Research Collaboration

Summary of a Workshop

The globalization of science, engineering, and medical research is proceeding rapidly. The globalization of research has important implications for the U.S. research enterprise, for the U.S. government agencies, academic institutions, and companies that support and perform research, and for the world at large. As science and technology capabilities grow around the world, U.S.-based organizations are finding that international collaborations and partnerships provide unique opportunities to enhance research and training. At the same time, significant obstacles exist to smooth collaboration across national borders. Enhancing international collaboration requires recognition of differences in culture, legitimate national security needs, and critical needs in education and training. In response to these trends, the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) launched a Working Group on International Research Collaborations (I-Group) in 2008, following its meeting on New Partnerships on a Global Platform that June. As part of I-Group's continuing effort, a workshop on Examining Core Elements of International Research Collaboration was held July 26-27, 2010 in Washington, DC. One primary goal of the workshop is to better understand the risks involved in international research collaboration for organizations and individual participants, and the mechanisms that can be used to manage those risks. Issues to be addressed in the workshop include the following: (1) Cultural Differences and Nuances; (2) Legal Issues and Agreements; (3) Differences in Ethical Standards; (4) Research Integrity and the Responsible Conduct of Research; (5) Intellectual Property; (6) Risk Management; (7) Export Controls; and (8) Strategies for Developing Meaningful International Collaborations. The goal for the workshop and the summary, Examining Core Elements of International Research Collaboration, is to serve as an information resource for participants and others interested in international research collaborations. It will also aid I-Group in setting its future goals and priorities.
