The aim of this project is to develop an adaptive and collective National Marine Biotechnology Plan for the next decade(2014~2023) which is able to reflect current and future changing environment. This effective strategy targets to foster marine-derived active bio-materials, marine bioenergy production technology and many promising technologies in order to promote marine biotechnology industry as a next-generation growth engine. Marine biotechnology industry based on R&D activities since 1980 has been growing as an emerging industry. This new field enables to secure exclusive patent rights and to find new potential bio-active materials from the ocean that requires long-term aggressive R&D investments. The current policy direction is to raise appropriate level of R&D investment because the current Korea's national marine biotechnology R&D fund ratio is less than 2% of the total national biotechnology R&D budget. The result shows three major strategies. First, it recommended a research implementation system and supporting policy that includes establishment of open innovation framework for the 'Industry-Academia-Research Institute Collaborations', strategic research planning and enhanced policy making process. Second, it derived state-of-the-art or new technology in many areas. Third, it formulated more detailed execution plans for successful R&D support and set up performance indicator system in related R&D program.

As the need for improvement of transparency and fairness in the selection of national R&D projects has been continuously raised, we analyzed the impact on the evaluation selection results by evaluation indexes for The land transportation technology commercialization support project and searched for ways to improve indexes using the analysis results. As for the research data, it were applied as selection results of new R&D projects and evaluation indexes in two fields(SME innovation and start-up) in 2021. Logistic regression analysis is used for the influence of each evaluation indexes on the evaluation result, and for the regression model, evaluation indexes with low influence are removed in advance through artificial neural network multiple perceptron analysis to improve the reliability of the analysis results. As a result of the analysis, in the field of SME innovation, the influence of the evaluation index on the workforce planning was the lowest and the influence of the appropriateness of commercialization promotion plan was the highest. In the start-up field, the influence of the evaluation indexes for technology development suitability, marketability, and suitability for carrying out the project were estimated to be similar to each other, and the influence of the technology evaluation index was found to be the lowest. The analysis results of this thesis suggest the need for continuous improvement of selection and evaluation indexes, and by using the analysis results to select a fair R&D institution according to the selection of appropriate indexes, it will be possible to contribute to deriving excellent research results and fostering excellent companies in the field of land transportation.

This study not only suggests a methodology of science planning different from technology planning, but also applies the methodology to the case of astronomy and space science project. Throughout the analysis on this practice, we have provided logical tools for science project planning, and have identified a decision making process in science which has been regarded to be in a 'black box'. Therefore, this science planning technique can contribute to a more rationalized allocation of scientific resource at a project level as well as at a national level. In particular, catch-up countries in a transition to post catch-up stage such as Korea can establish a more efficient national R&D system by application of science planning concept to an emerging technology area.

As software(SW) has been considered as a key driver of the fourth industrial revolution, significant R&D investment has been made by Korean government. Despite the attention and support by the government, systematic analysis on the SW R&D efficiency has not been fully addressed. In this study, the efficiency of SW national research and development projects was analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) techniques. Efficiency was measured from both static and dynamic perspectives based on 1,463 projects conducted by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency(NIPA) from 2008 to 2018. The static efficiency analysis identified the causes of inefficiency as scale and technology problems. As a result of dynamic efficiency analysis, we present a sector-specific response model using an efficiency-stability matrix. This study is meaningful in that efficiency analysis was conducted on the entire SW national R&D project, and static/dynamic efficiency analysis results are expected to be used as a guideline for planning SW national R&D project.

Bridge construction cost estimates have generally been conducted by using historial unit-price(per meter or square meter). The traditional estimating method based on unit-price references can never completely reflect the specialty of cable supported bridge. In this paper, we have developed the system for supporting the approximate construction cost and the quantity estimation based on 3D model information in the pre-project planning phase of 3-span continuous suspension bridge with 2-pylons. First of all, we'd analyzed the design information (such as structural design report, blueprint and quantity) and the real cost data from the existing suspension bridges and derived the design variables of the bridges. We developed the BIM wizard that generates a suspension bridge model parametrically based on derived design variables. The principle material quantities of suspension bridge are calculated directly from 3-dimensional bridge model built by using the BIM wizard. We have established the system that the construction cost can be estimated more specific than the traditional estimating method.

This paper presents a R&D investment model for Information and telecommunications (I&T) technology, which can be used by group decision makers, using multiple objective linear programming (MOLP). The MOLP model involves the simultaneous maximization of three linear objective functions associated with three criteria, which are social, technological, and economic criterion. This model is different from the traditional one which only involves the maximization of economic criterion. The presented problem in this model can be formulated as a problem of optimizing a linear function over an efficient set of MOLP. Its application to the National R&D Project in I&T Industry is also presented. In this application, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed to estimate the weights, which are used as the coefficients in each objective function of the MOLP model and in a linear decision function. By solving this problem, it yields a suitable R&D investment ratio to each technology field. It is showed that the MOLP model can be useful decision aid in formulating R&D investment plan in I&T industry which needs to be decided by group decision makers, not by an individual. It is expected that the MOLP model works as the basis for planning R&D investment strategy in I&T industry.

A coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new global health problem. The Korean government is pursuing to gain its future growth engines and promoting short-term economic stimulation by investing in research and development (R&D) to improve national technological capabilities that can respond to the spread of the global epidemic. It is required to need knowledge information to establish the direction of future national planning thru understanding the status quo of R&D investment in terms of research fields. Four corona-related R&D fields were drawn on the basis of analyzing major nations' R&D funding data (USA, EU etc.) and two differentiated R&D fields were added through comparative analysis with domestic R&D projects. Domestic and foreign research organization-the research title-the scale of the research funding-the project period were presented in terms of the suggested 6(7 details) R&D research fields. Meanwhile R&D projects that have featured in the convergence of interdisciplinary were provided. This study proved the excellence of coronavirus detection and on-site diagnostic capabilities that are currently globally highlighted by deriving differentiated research fields from the domestic competitive advantage fields related to corona viruses and also suggested intensive investment research fields.

The public research and development (R&D) funds for construction engineering is one of the key elements for the advancement of construction industry. Korean Ministry of Construction and Transportation is currently planning to produce approximately US$ 500 millions of research funds every year in Korea from year 2007. Along with the prospect for increasing R&D investment, there is of increasing pressures on the development of quantitative methodologies for assessing the performance of construction R&D results. Although there have been some general R&D project evaluation methods, they are not readily used for construction R&D research assessment due to the distinct characteristics of construction R&D. This paper presents a simple methodology that can make quantitative assessments of construction R&D performances. The proposed methodology is expected to assist government officials in objectively evaluating construction R&D performances and identifying the areas that require more R&D investment.

The United States Department of Energy (US DOE) is conducting research and development (R&D) activities under the Used Fuel Disposition Campaign (UFDC) to support storage, transportation, and disposal of used nuclear fuel (UNF) and wastes generated by existing and future nuclear fuel cycles. R&D activities are ongoing at nine national laboratories, and are divided into storage, transportation and disposal. Storage R&D focuses on closing technical gaps related to extended storage of UNF. Transportation R&D focuses on ensuring transportability of UNF following extended storage, and addressing data gaps regarding nuclear fuel integrity, retrievability, and demonstration of subcriticality. Disposal R&D focuses on identifying geologic disposal options and addressing technical challenges for generic disposal concepts in mined repositories in salt, clay/shale, and granitic rocks, and deep borehole disposal. UFDC R&D goals include increasing confidence in the robustness of generic disposal concepts, reducing generic sources of uncertainty that may impact the viability of disposal concepts, and developing science and engineering tools to support the selection, characterization, and licensing of a repository. The US DOE has also initiated activities in the Nuclear Fuel Storage and Transportation (NFST) Planning Project to facilitate the development of an interim storage facility and to support transportation infrastructure in the near term.
