Status: Approved
Basic Information
- Project No. and Title: NC1003 : Impact Analysis and Decision Strategies for Agricultural Research
- Period Covered: 01/01/2002 to 12/01/2002
- Date of Report: 03/20/2003
- Annual Meeting Dates: 03/14/2002 to 03/16/2002
Participants
The 2002 NC-1003 meeting was held at ERS-USDA, Washington, D.C., and featured a two-day symposium entitled, Future Public Research Opportunities and Directions, March 14-16th. In order to better impact agricultural science policy, the program featured USDA research administrators, a CGIAR administrator, and an agricultural college dean.
The NC-1003 business meeting on March 16th included a report from the administrative advisor, James Venette, South Dakota, plans for the 2003 meeting, state reports, and election of officers. The group decided to hold the 2003 annual meeting at New Brunswick, NJ, in late February and draw upon unique local resourcesRockefeller Foundation, pharmaceutical industry, Columbia University . The suggested topic was to be Intellectual Property and Agricultural Research Implications for Public and Private Sectors. The program committee consisted of Carl Pray (NJ), Chair, Brian Wright (CA), Paul Heisey (ERS), and Phil Pardey (MN).
The Nominations Committee nominated Wallace Huffman (IA) for Chair and George Frisvold (AZ) for Secretary for the upcoming year. The nominations were moved and both were elected unanimously.

Accomplishments
NC-1003 has the following three research objectives:
(1) To estimate the expected and actual flow of benefits an
costs of research for agriculture, rand related areas, including incidence of their distribution;
(2) To analyze decision strategies for funding, planning, managing,
and evaluating agricultural research by public institutions and private organizations, and
(3) To analyze opportunities, risks and net benefits from existing and
potential public-private sector linkages, including new institutions, technology transfer mechanisms, and freedom to operate.
During the past year, which is the first full year of the project, the project has produced an excellent set of publications and science-policy interactions with outside groups and organizations. See the publication list, Group I for publications in 2002 and Group II for forthcoming and miscellaneous publications.

Impacts
- Four members of NC-1003 helped draft the NRC Report entitled, Frontier in Agricultural Research: Food, Health, Environment, and Communities (National Academy Press 2002), and Laurian Unnevehr (IL) was Chair of the Committee as it completed its work.
- Wallace Huffman (IA) with assistance from Robert Evenson (Yale), Mark Rosegrant (IFPRI) and Jay Richie (MS) prepared and presented a one-half day program for the fall 2002 national ESCOP meeting, Baltimore, MD. They were reporting on the Counter Factual Study dealing with how changing the size of federal formula funding impacts individual agricultural experiment station budgets and state total factor productivity and world markets for food and fiber.
- Results have been presented to the USDA and FDA dealing with the impact of GM-food labels and biotech information from diverse sources on consumer acceptance of GM foods.
- A white paper was prepared by Paul Thompson (IN) on Ethics and Food Safety Policy at a workshop at FAO, Rome, Italy.
- Members have published papers in the high-visibly journals Science and Nature (see papers by Pray (NJ) and Zilberman (CA)).
- Members have contributed to a Handbook on Plant Biotechnology and plant physiology textbook entitled, Plants, Genes, and Crop Biotechnology.
