This book captures the messages from a workshop that brought together research managers from government, industry, and academia to review and discuss the mechanisms that have been proposed or used to assess the value of chemical research.

The workshop focused on the assessment procedures that have been or will be established within the various organizations that carry out or fund research activities, with particular attention to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The book presents approaches and ideas from leaders in each area that were intended to identify new and useful ways of assessing the value and potential impact of research activities.

Contributor(s): National Research Council; Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences; Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology; Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications; Chemical Sciences Roundtable
