DESCRIPTION:Prof. Julia Lane\, Senior Managing Economist\, American Instit
 utes for Research\n"New approaches to examining the production of science"
 Abstract:\nCollaboration matters in science.  Yet\, while there is intrig
 uing evidence that the organization of scientific collaboration is changin
 g\, and that teams are becoming more important\, the analysis has been mos
 tly based on studying the results of collaborations as evidenced by co-aut
 horship of publications or patents at the scientist level . There are a nu
 mber of unanswered questions about the structure of the fundamental unit o
 f scientific production: the project team.   Who works on scientific tea
 ms?  What is the role of postdoctoral fellows and graduate and undergradu
 ate students? How do scientific networks of collaboration evolve in respon
 se to federal funding decisions? And how do different network structures a
 ffect scientific productivity\, in both creation of knowledge and diffusio
 n of results?  Answering these questions is of fundamental national inter
 est. The federal government invests more than $140 billion annually in bas
 ic and applied research.  Businesses investment approximately twice that.
   Yet the way in which these investments work their way through to affect
 ing innovation\, economic growth and social well-being remains largely a b
 lack box\, because so little is known about the project teams that are the
  fundamental building block of research and development activity. We contr
 ibute to the literature by using new longitudinal data derived from the ST
 AR METRICS program to examine a new level of analysis in depth: the struct
 ure of scientific collaboration and the use of scientific equipment at the
  project level and the effect on subsequent outcomes.Authors\nJulia Lane\,
