Abstract
This article explains the kind of policy research appropriate for strategic decisions on the university research system. It describes the system’s operating environment over the next decade and enumerates six important policy issues: finance, access to new facilities and equipment, competition and specialization, concentration of federal resources, faculty research productivity, and research transmission and use. The author argues that comparative research on systems in other countries would have high payoff and that evaluating large-scale state and federal natural experiments in new ways of doing research would help in designing a more cost-effective research system.
