November 09, 2005CNET: "Research Money Crunch in the U.S."Marguerite Reardon writes in CNET News.com what's becoming a very familiar refrain: An outspoken group of information and communications technology innovators is worried that the United States is falling behind the rest of the world in technological innovation because fewer dollars are being allocated to long-term research. The piece does a good job of laying out concerns of the computing research community, which should be very familiar to readers of this blog. Many in the research community also believe that the research being conducted today is too focused on short-term, market-oriented results. The current DARPA policy, which mandates 12-month "go, no go" research milestones for information technology, has shortened deadlines, thus discouraging long-term research. And with more research focused on national security, programs formerly open to academics are now classified. DARPA has also slashed spending on academic research.Read the whole thing here.
