Total Reporting for Scientific Work

Abstract

The project grant system, which has been so effective in the support of scientific research in the United States, has included support of the indirect costs of that research. The desire to clearly justify these costs and to trace abuses has led the Office of Management and Budget to issue new rules. One such rule requires reporting for 100 percent of the work of scientists. The character of this rule raises fundamental questions about the possible control of universities by the government. This article is intended to describe the background of these questions and to examine their consequences.
