In addition, the committee and NRC staff made 19 site visits, conducted 12 telephone interviews with principal investigators, and received two letter reports. The selection of institutions for site visits was based on an intersection of several constructs.

The committee recognized that, at a minimum, Markey Research Program Grants awards could be classified into two categories: infrastructure development and investigator-initiated awards. The infrastructure development awards were used to create, expand, or enhance an existing department, center, or program or to develop new centers that focused on a particular aspect of the biological sciences.

Although this award was originally classified as a General Organizational Grant by Markey Trustees, the committee saw in this award the genesis of the infrastructure development and concluded that for analytical purposes it should be considered a Research Program Grants award. This program subsequently received a site visit by the committee.

The committee realized that it was impossible to systematically collect data that would enable an assessment of individual programs. The committee had considered reviewing all publications that emerged from Markey funded projects; examining patents and licenses produced with Markey funding; and tabulating subsequent extramural funding that was produced by the Research Program Grants as one way to assess individual programs.

The committee concluded that neither the data nor the existing resources would permit a rigorous evaluation of the program. Unlike grant programs funded by NIH and NSF, the Markey Research Program Grants were not guided by a systematic, uniform solicitation on which proposals were based.

Moreover, the committee recognizes that if the Markey Trustees had adopted an MDS and established goals and outcomes for grantees, its evaluation of the Research Program Grants would have been much more straightforward; although

ASSESSING THE MARKEY RESEARCH PROGRAM GRANTS 35 the committee also recognizes that the implementation of the MDS and the identification, measurement, and collection of specific program products and outcomes will inevitably lead to greater bureaucratic requirements and less flexibility in program administration, characteristics identified as strengths of the Markey Trust's framework.
