Abstract
Readers are invited to participate in a data-collection effort, conducted by SCARDE (Study Committee for the Analysis of Research, Development, and Engineering) on the patterns of man-power and money utilization currently found in R and D projects. The aggregated and summarized data should provide valuable insights into current practices in a variety of industries and firms of different sizes, and be useful to researchers interested in a quantitative approach to the management of R and D activities. Strict procedures to safeguard proprietary information have been established. The background and results of a pilot study are indicated, and an example of the possible use of the study results is presented.
