Sample questions for Sessions II and III:

What innovation analysis using human resource data has been done and what issues has it illuminated?

What have been the sources of data and difficulties encountered?

What linkages among data sets have been possible and productive?

What opportunities are there for other uses?

What difficulties do you anticipate?

2:30 Breakouts

What’s Possible? Where Do We Go From Here?

Sample questions for Breakout Groups:

To assess differences in the role of human capital in innovation, should the analysis and techniques applied to biotechnology be applied to other industries or technologies? Which?

What HR data have been collected but not exploited?

What linkages can be made between HR and other data sets? How? Can this be done without disrupting time series or losing other valuable information?

Should federal agencies or supported institutions track personnel (laboratory employees, PIs, trainees, graduate assistants, research fellows and associates, etc.)?

What aspects of program evaluation would benefit from use of HR data?

4:30 Session V:

Despite the fact that technology is embodied in human as well as physical capital and that interactions among technically trained people are critical to innovation and technology diffusion, data on scientists, engineers and other professionals have not been adequately exploited to illuminate the productivity of and changing patterns in innovation. STEP convened a workshop to examine how data on qualifications and career paths, mobility, cross sector relationships, and the structure of work in firms could shed light on issues of research productivity, interactions among private and public sector institutions, and other aspects of innovation.
