STAR METRICS

Overview
STAR METRICS™ (the acronym for Science and Technology for America's Reinvestment: Measuring the Effect of Research on Innovation, Competitiveness and Science) is a multi-agency venture led by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

The STAR METRICS project is a partnership between science agencies and research institutions to document the outcomes of science investments to the public. The benefits of STAR METRICS are that a common empirical infrastructure will be available to all recipients of federal funding and science agencies to quickly respond to State, Congressional and OMB requests.
