The demand for efficient utilization of input resources and productive outcomes is increasing as the government's R&D investments in Government-funded research institutes (GRIs) expand. These changes call for improving research-planning activities, which are defined as a set of activities wherein objectives are established, strategies for acquisition and expenditures of research resources are devised, and utilizations of research outcomes are addressed. This study introduces the integrated 4P analysis model that identifies the relationships among patents, papers, products, and projects. It looks into 4P analysis structure and its efficiency as a research planning means through case studies of the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. This study introduces 4P analysis applied to KRICT, which can be utilized for outcome-oriented research planning of GRIs. At the same time, it investigates into the benefits and implications of 4P analysis. It proffers policy suggestions on such aspects as how research planning of GRIs should go through changes in a strategic and systematic way.

Since 1995 the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology has introduced and implemented a project based system (PBS) for awarding R&D funds. While capital investments for national laboratories such as buildings and research facilities are supported by the government, normal operating expenses including personnel expenses should be earned by national laboratories through open competition under PBS. The project budget includes both direct research costs and indirect costs. The purpose of this paper is to examine the components of indirect costs and to examine determinants of indirect costs of national laboratories in Korea. The indirect costs of nineteen national laboratories are examined. The direct personnel costs and indirect personnel costs out of total personnel costs are 72% and 28%, respectively. The average indirect cost rate is 74.1% of direct personnel costs. Major components of indirect costs are general operating costs, indirect personnel costs, taxes and dues, and expenses related to the usage of equipment. The significant determinants of indirect cost are indirect personnel ratio. the ratio of unique projects, the type of national laboratories (pure research laboratories or other), and asset activity ratio measured as research divided by total assets. The high indirect personnel ratio, the high ratio of unique projects, the laboratories classified as other, the low asset activity ratio are related to high indirect cost rates.

The discovery of GW150914, black hole - black hole merger via gravitational waves (GWs) opened a new window to observe the Universe. GW frequencies from heavenly bodies and early Universe are expected to span between sub-nHz up to kHz. At present, GW detectors on Earth (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, LIGO-India) aims frequency ranges between 10-2000 Hz. The space-borne GW detector and Pulsar Timing Array targets mHz and nHz sources. Starting in March 2017, the KKN (KASI-KISTI-NIMS) collaboration launched a pilot study of SLGT (Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Telescope). This project is funded by NST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology). The main detection bands expected for SLGT ranges between 0.1-10Hz, which is complementary of LIGO-type detectors and LISA for multi-band GW observation. We will present an overview of the SLGT project and report the status of the NST pilot study. We will also present prospective of GW astronomy with SLGT.

A variety of approaches are being applied to improve the existing ex-ante evaluation by expert panels in publicly funded R&D. While the objective evaluation criteria are constantly being improved to screen and select the superior projects, alternative approaches such as random prioritization and logical modeling are also underway to overcome the conservative bias of reviewers and to secure disruptive innovation. This study intends to find critical implications for ex-ante evaluation of public R&D system from the comparison of Indonesia and Korea. For the comparative analysis, literature review and expert in-depth interviews are conducted on the national R&D system and the selection evaluation process. In Korea, the selection criteria of projects are legally promulgated for establishing an objective evaluation system, and at the program level, the major considerations in the planning process are specified by Presidential Decree. On the other hand, while Indonesia conducts R&D in 47 strategic fields largely by public research institutes (PRI) based on the non-competitive government contributions. This study draws out implications of institutionalizing the planning process at the level of program, and of increasing the ratio of contract-based competitive funding at the level of project in the national R&D portfolio.

2020년 정부 R&D 예산은 총 24.2조원으로 매년 지속 상승하여 왔으며, 국내총생산(GDP) 대비 연구개발비 비중은 OECD 국가 중 최상위권이다. 하지만 국가과학기술 혁신 성과에서는 OECD 국가에서 중하위권을 나타내고 있다. 이 연구는 정부 R&D의 핵심주체인 과학기술분야 정부출연연구기관의 인력·예산 투입이 연구실적으로 연계되는지에 대한 분석을 통해 성과중심의 R&D 기관 운영방향을 제시하는 데에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 과학기술분야 정부출연연구 기관의 주요 연구실적(SCI논문, 특허, 기술료)에 영향을 미치는 요인들로서, 연구예산, 인력투입을 독립변수로 설정하여 다중회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구예산은 정부출연금만 SCI 논문실적에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있었고, 정부수탁과 민간수탁 예산의 증가는 오히려 특허와 기술료 수입액에 부정적 영향을 나타내고 있었다. 인력은 정규직이 비정규직에 비하여 모든 연구실적 증가에 미치는 긍정적 영향이 3~6배 이상 크게 나타났다. 통제변수로 설정한 연구유형에서는 기초기술분야 기관이 SCI 논문실적에서, 산업기술분야 기관이 특허와 기술료 수입액에서 더 많은 실적을 도출하고 있었고, 대덕연구단지 소재 여부는 연구실적과 큰 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구를 통해, 과학기술분야 정부출연연구기관의 성과중심 기관운영을 위해, 연구실적과 연계한 예산배분, 정규직 중심의 인력 지속확대, 연구유형에 따른 기관평가 실적지표 설정 등의 정책적 시사점이 도출되었다.

A research project, the "Construction of Frailty Cohort for Elderly and Intervention Study," funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, has been ongoing since December 2015. The Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS) aims to identify risk factors for adverse outcomes associated with frailty in community-dwelling older adults, as well as means of prevention. KFACS is a multicenter, longitudinal study, with the baseline survey being conducted in 2016-2017. The sample (n=3,000) consists of those aged 70-84 years, stratified by age and gender, recruited from urban and rural regions nationwide. An in-person interview and health examination are performed every 2 years. This project is also conducting many intervention studies. Project interventions focus on nutrition and exercise. The nutritional intervention study compares the effects of 1.2 g/kg versus 1.5 g/kg daily protein intake on sarcopenia and frailty in older Koreans. The exercise trial examines the effectiveness of an information and communication technology-based program in preventing or reducing frailty.

During last 30 years, Korea economy has grown so fast and many leading-edge technologies ware introduced from the advanced countries. but this fast growth inevitably produced imperfect completion of infrastructures and caused man-made catastrophes like Sungsu Bridge and Sampoong Department Store. After the incidents, Korea Government and National Assembly established "The Special Law for Safety Maintenance of Infrastructures". According to this law, most of infrastructures must be inspected periodically. During last 10 years after the establishment of the law, many infrastructures were improved and the quality of construction was upgraded. However, important and weak-to-disaster infrastructures need to be watched continuously. Many monitoring technologies were developed and tested in the field. In this paper, the new research project "Establishment of Testbed of Safety Management Network for Main Infrastructures", funded by government, was introduced.

The purpose of the study is to suggest a methodology for properly categorizing the body type of Koreans based on the multivariate statistical analysis. Anthropometric data used in the study were measured from the sampled strata of about fifteen thousand Koreans surveyed through the 5th national anthropometic data measurement project called Size Korea funded by ATS, Korea, during 2003-2004. In order to categorize whole body types, the normalized anthropometric variables, being divided by its stature, were used for obtaining a set of factors that supposedly represent body types through the factor analysis. These factors, which were again clustered, yielded the body types according to the gender. The body types classified are expected to be applied to product design for clothing, furniture, automobile packaging, etc.
