| Abstract | Issues concerning the federal role in financing research and development (R&D) and the impact of these policies on academic research are examined. Specific concerns are whether the Reagan Administration is militarizing research and implications of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program. National Science Foundation data are examined, including: the percentage of the Gross National Product devoted to R&D funding and nonmilitary R&D for the United States, West Germany, and Japan; the percent of federal expenditures for R&D since 1966, reported in 2-year intervals; the percentage and amount of expenditures for basic research allocated to universities, industry, and federal agencies; and federal obligations for university funding from various federal agencies. The federal investment in R&D has focused on military development, while spending for academic research has shown modest growth and has been targeted at the physical and mathematical sciences as well as selected areas of engineering. In addition, Department of Defense involvement in university research has substantially increased. Detailed attention is directed to SDI funding and implications for university research. (SW) |
