Biological Resource Centers

Description:

"Scott Stern provides a systematic economic assessment of the impact of biological resource centers through their role in facilitating cumulative knowledge in the life sciences and their role as knowledge hubs - institutions that facilitate the transfer of scientific and technical knowledge among members of a research community. Stern argues that science and innovation policy must be premised on a clear understanding of the role that knowledge hubs play and on policy mechanisms that encourage their sustained growth and effectiveness."--Jacket.
