| Abstract | In this article, [the author explores] the role of health and education research in producing technological innovations and global policy options and goals, such as the MDGs [Millennium Development Goals]. [She had] chosen health research as a point of comparison for three reasons. First, unflattering comparisons of progress in the education sector relative to progress in the health sector are a constant source of irritation. Second, since the end of the 1990s, a series of debates on the relative value and feasibility of experimental methods more commonly found in health than in education research has occupied many education researchers in the United States and United Kingdom. Third, the opportunity arose to study the history of the development of one "magic-bullet" technology in health-oral rehydration therapy-both through recently published memoirs and through interviews with the principals involved. ... The article falls into two, roughly equal parts. The first two sections below explore patterns in research and innovation in two exemplary disciplines core to the study of the individual outcomes in health and education: microbiology and cognitive science. The following section, "Development, Deliverables, and Delivery Systems," highlights the way two types of technological innovation available to international development organizations-deliverables and delivery systems-shaped two precursors to the MDGs: the Health for All (HFA) and Education for All (EFA) initiatives. The second part, beginning with the section titled "ORT: Developing a Deliverable," shifts the terms of the debate on "scientific" education research to a different level. A case study of the development of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) explores the research program that generated one core HFA component. The following section highlights several aspects of the ORT research environment - focus, location, time, funding, international organizations, research methods, international status, and scientific status - which are not unique to health but are not evident in any ongoing program of education research. The final section provides a summary and suggestions for a future research agenda that might generate better policy options and support more ambitious, yet possibly more attainable, global goals for education.
