Emerging Economies Drive Global R&D Growth

Emerging Economies Drive Global R&D Growth

The global recession is over for most of the world, but the recovery reveals relatively meager R&D increases for most advanced economies—and strong gains for emerging economies.

Recovery Renews R&D

Recovery Renews R&D

Sustained R&D investment is key to economic growth. Those are strong words that are easy to follow in good economic times, but more difficult to follow in bad economic times. The global recession that officially began in the U.S. in late-2007, and is expected to ‘officially’ end (for the U.S.) in late-2009, has been described as the worst economic recession since the Great Depression.

Re-Emerging U.S. R&D

Re-Emerging U.S. R&D

The Battelle/R&D Magazine team forecasts the U.S. R&D environment will begin to re-emerge in 2010, with total R&D spending reaching $401.9 billion, up 3.27% over the final 2009 estimate of $389.2 billion.

Whether you’re talking about a company or a country, the future holds critical challenges that will require innovative science and technology solutions.

A Battelle Perspective On Investing In National Security R&D

A Battelle Perspective On Investing In National Security R&D

In the summer of 1945, Vannevar Bush, Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, delivered a report to President Roosevelt that laid the foundation to establish the National Science Foundation. It also articulated the rationale for basic research as a critical basis for national security in the broadest sense, not only for defense, but also for a robust economy.

Technology Leadership: Do Perceptions Alter Reality?

Technology Leadership: Do Perceptions Alter Reality?

Though the readership of this publication may be somewhat biased, the public at large would likely agree that advanced technologies play a significant role in corporate and U.S. competiveness now and in the future. Yet, the relationships among R&D investment recipients, the importance of technology, and view of corporate and U.S. competiveness are murky at best.

Federal R&D: The Stimulus Hangover

Federal R&D: The Stimulus Hangover

With final appropriations bills still undecided, R&D funding, combined with the Administration’s budget in the remaining departments and agencies, totals currently at $147.9 billion, which is an increase of 0.56%. Unless there are some significant Congressional additions, we are headed toward a baseline FY2010 federal budget that fails to keep up with inflation.

Biopharm in Flux

Biopharm in Flux

Less than ten years ago, the U.S. was the epicenter of the pharmaceutical universe, with global firms establishing R&D centers throughout the U.S. to be near where the action was and build on the massive funding at the National Institutes of Health. But a funny thing happened over the past decade.

Global Perspective: Emerging Nations Gain R&D Ground

Global Perspective: Emerging Nations Gain R&D Ground

Over the past two years, the traditional leaders of R&D—the U.S., Europe, and Japan—have struggled to maintain the basic essentials of their economies and have seen their overall R&D programs slide in relation those of emerging economies. The big emerging nations—China, India, and Brazil—were not immune to the global recession.

A Battelle Perspective On Investing In Healthcare R&D

A Battelle Perspective On Investing In Healthcare R&D

The past several decades have heralded a revolution in the fundamental understanding of disease and disease progression. In particular, researchers have come to recognize the interconnectivity that exists between cellular tissue and organ systems in mammals, and that one system can no longer be studied in isolation.

Lunar tires, space MRSA, and resonating microfluidics

Lunar tires, space MRSA, and resonating microfluidics

I typically attend the annual Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy each year in pursuit of specific coverage. This year, I sought out candidates for coverage in a vacuum technology article, and pulled together some instruments for a spectroscopy guide. But as busy as that kept me, it wasn’t all mass spectrometers and vacuum pumps on the show floor.  

A clean energy America…is it coming or not?

A clean energy America…is it coming or not?

Almost a year ago, the buzz during the downturn was that the economic stimulus will help boost jobs in a sort of national improvement program reminiscent of the 1930s. Our coal would be phased out. Our grids would get smart. Our cars would get hybridized.
