STAR METRICS is a federal and university partnership to document the outcomes of science investments to the public. The project is led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the auspices of Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).
There are two phases to this project:
- Phase I: Develop uniform, auditable and standardized measures of the impact of ARRA and science spending on job creation.
- Phase II: Develop measures of the impact of federal science investment on economic growth (tracing patents, new company start-ups and other measures), workforce outcomes (through student mobility and employment), scientific knowledge (measured through publications and citations) and, later, social outcomes (such as positive health outcomes measures and green environmental impact factors)
Please Note: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one hour per response including the time for reviewing instructions, searching for existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing the review of the information collected. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
