The 2001 NC-208 meeting was held at Alumni House, University of California, Berkeley, CA in conjunction with a 1< day sponsored, R&D Policies and Impact Assessment. Thirteen papers were presented and discussed. At the NC-208 business meeting, an extensive discussion of the multistate project review process and renewal effort were discussed. The initial report from the North Central Directors‘ Committee was the project lacked sufficient multidisciplinary composition and multistate integration. After discussing alternative responses to the review, it was decided to prepare a revision and addressed the Directors‘ concerns. Cole Gustafson, the advisor, indicated that he would provide feedback on the new revision.
Plans for the 2001 meeting were formalized. John Miranowski (Iowa), Chair, Richard Just (Maryland), Fred Buttel (Wisconsin), and Robin Shoemaker (USDA-ERS) were appointed to the 2001 Program Committee. The tentative topic of a two-day symposium was chosen: "Effective Funding and Managing Agricultural Research in the 21st Century," and the program is to contain two parts: Interactions with science policymakers and a report of research findings.
The nominating committee nominated Wallace Huffman (Iowa) for Chair and George Frisvold (Arizona) for Secretary for the upcoming year. The nominations were moved and both were elected unanimously.

Accomplishments
NC-208 has four major research objectives:
Objective 1. To estimate the expected and actual flow of benefits and costs of research for agriculture and related areas, including the incidence of their distribution.
Objective 2. To determine and quantify the relationships between research and other public sector policies and programs for agriculture.
Objective 3. To analyze decision strategies for agricultural research funding by different public institutions and private organizations.
Objective 4. To continue the development of procedures for facilitating the priority setting process for agricultural research and to implement them in individual states and nationally as requested.
The progress and accomplishments under the four project objectives for the past year and for the whole five years of the project were excellent. Over the latest five years of the project, a total of 14 books, over 150 journal articles, and many other book chapters and miscellaneous publications on agricultural research impact analysis and science policy have been published by participants in NC-208, and they have been distributed widely.
Appendix A provides a summary of the progress and principal accomplishments under each of the four objectives for the past year. The output of publications was large in 2001, which was the fifth year of the project, and the publications are reported in the publication list at the end of this report. The project is meeting its projected delivery of products.

Impacts
- Important project impacts occurred during 2001. Specifically, the project has provided an opportunity for expertise on agricultural science policy to be accumulated if NC-208 participates, to provide opportunities for members to form new research groups for collaborative efforts, and for participating project members to successfully pursue external funding for research covered by this project. Other specific impacts for 2001 include: (i) Publications on the impacts of transgenic crop varieties
