متن يادداشت
In his portrayal of both sides, James Savage analyzes the earmarking decisions of both university presidents and members of Congress, identifies those universities that have benefited most from earmarking, and examines the question of whether earmarking improves the ability of these universities to compete for research grants.
متن يادداشت
Since the 1950s, the federal government has relied on the peer review system for funding high-quality academic science. Yet, despite the success of American science, peer review is under attack for being a biased "good old boy" network that helps rich research universities get richer. As a remedy for these biases, university presidents and members of Congress have turned to the earmarking of science projects and facilities in the federal budget. Critics of earmarking call it little more than the pork barreling of research money, whereby political influence, not scientific merit, determines funding. Funding Science in America explores both the pros and cons of the academic earmarking issue.
