APPENDIX B
Guest Speaker Presentations to the Committee

The Committee on Department of Defense Basic Research conducted two meetings in May 2004 at which it received presentations by invited speakers. The titles of the presentations and speakers are listed in this appendix. (See Appendix C for a list of committee interviews and site visits to Department of Defense [DOD] basic research organizations and universities.)

The committee devoted its first meeting, on May 5-6, 2004, to understanding the DOD definitions for basic and applied research and the characteristics associated with fundamental research and to gathering data and information relevant to the study from representatives of the research community.

The second meeting, held on May 26-27, 2004, was devoted to reviewing the DOD’s basic research program. Presentations were made by representatives of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

The Department of Defense (DOD) supports basic research to advance fundamental knowledge in fields important to national defense. Over the past six years, however, several groups have raised concern about whether the nature of DOD-funded basic research is changing. The concerns include these: Funds are being spent for research that does not fall under DOD's definition of basic research; reporting requirements have become cumbersome and onerous; and basic research is handled differently by the three services. To explore these concerns, the Congress directed DOD to request a study from the National Research Council (NRC) about the nature of basic research now being funded by the Department. Specifically the NRC was to determine if the programs in the DOD basic research portfolio are consistent with the DOD definition of basic research and with the characteristics associated with fundamental research.
