  • Summary

    Chapter 21 slices TTS data from yet another angle, this time according to whether terminated faculty voluntarily quit or were involuntarily fired. The chapter shows that academia is not merely a refuge for workers who cannot succeed in the general labor force because, among other things, faculty whose disciplinary backgrounds give them better exit options do not seem to relinquish their positions more easily.

  • US Governmental Spending for Disaster-Related Research, 2011–2016: Characterizing the State of Science Funding Across 5 Professional Disciplines

    Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness / Volume 13 / Issue 5-6 / December 2019
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • Objective:

    Disaster-related research funding in the United States has not been described. This study characterizes Federal funding for disaster-related research for 5 professional disciplines: medicine, public health, social science, engineering, emergency management.

    Methods:

    An online key word search was performed using the website, www.USAspending.gov, to identify federal awards, grants, and contracts during 2011–2016. A panel of experts then reviewed each entry for inclusion.

    Results:

    The search identified 9145 entries, of which 262 (3%) met inclusion criteria. Over 6 years, the Federal Government awarded US $69 325 130 for all disaster-related research. Total funding levels quadrupled in the first 3 years and then halved in the last 3 years. Half of the funding was for engineering, 3 times higher than social sciences and emergency management and 5 times higher than public health and medicine. Ten (11%) institutions received 52% of all funding. The search returned entries for only 12 of the 35 pre-identified disaster-related capabilities; 6 of 12 capabilities appear to have received no funding for at least 2 years.

    Conclusion:

    US federal funding for disaster-related research is limited and highly variable during 2011–2016. There are no clear reasons for apportionment. There appears to be an absence of prioritization. There does not appear to be a strategy for alignment of research with national disaster policies.
