Abstract:
While traditional grants remain central in US federal support of academic
scientists and engineers, the role of multidisciplinary NSF Centers is
growing. Little is known about how funding through these Centers affects
scientific output or (as is an NSF aim) increases academic collaboration
with industry. This paper tests the use of CVs to examine how Center funding
affects researchers' publication rates and their obtaining industry grants.

We find that CVs are indeed usable, but some ways of collecting them work
much better than others, and that researchers who obtain Center grants are
more likely to obtain grants from industry too, suggesting that this NSF aim
is being met. We do not find that Centers improve publication rates.
