Extract

There is increasing evidence that research funding sources are requiring additional assurances that the expenditure of their resources is in the “highest and best use.” Legislative calls for sunset provisions and mandated evaluations plus administrative moves toward grant rather than formula funding emphasize the push for more direct accountability. The objective of this paper is to outline the work of a committee charged with assisting the directors of agricultural research and extension in the nation's land grant universities in their requests for funds for high priority research.
