The federal government has been the primary sponsor of academic research in the U.S., and the peer-review system has been the primary mechanism for distributing federal government funding for research among universities. The peer-review system ensures the production of the best science by funding the most capable researchers in the country. As a result, federal research funding has been concentrated in high-capacity states where many of the most capable researchers reside. Despite official action - such as the implementation of the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), which targets low capacity jurisdictions for federal funding - the amount of resources going to each state for research is highly uneven. This book provides recommendations on how to improve policy design and program implementation for better research capacity-building outcomes. The book lends itself to a wide audience, as it does not focus entirely on high-level statistical analysis, but will have specific appeal to researchers in science policy, federal budgeting and higher education policy. 000921859 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed April 30, 2019). 000921859 650_0 $$aFederal aid to research$$xGovernment policy$$zUnited States. 000921859 650_0 $$aResearch and development projects$$xGovernment policy$$zUnited States. 000921859 650_0 $$aResearch grants$$zUnited States. 000921859 650_0 $$aScience and state$$zUnited States. 000921859 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in political science. 000921859 852__ $$bebk 000921859 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-18704-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000921859 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:921859$$pGLOBAL_SET 000921859 980__ $$aEBOOK 000921859 980__ $$aBIB 000921859 982__ $$aEbook 000921859 983__ $$aOnline 000921859 994__ $$a92$$bISE
