Japan Marine Science and Technology Center Research Evaluation In August , the Prime Minister decided on the "National Guideline on the Method of Evaluation for Government R&D (hereinafter in this chapter referred to as National Guideline)." In response to that, JAMSTEC formulated, in October , the "Outline of Steps Taken to Evaluate Research at the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (hereinafter in this chapter referred to as JAMSTEC Outline Steps)." The purpose of the JAM- STEC Outline Steps is to realize strict and fair evaluation of JAMSTEC's research projects and the whole management, and eventually to contribute to effective and productive allocation of research resources (human resources and economic resources). Every year JAMSTEC implements research evaluation under the JAMSTEC Outline Steps. In fiscal JAMSTEC began examining R&D cost effectiveness and quantitative evaluation methods. 1. R&D Theme Evaluation R&D theme evaluation applies to all R&D projects implemented by JAMSTEC except those classified as large-scale and important projects (e.g., mega-science projects carried out at a national level), and those implemented by the Frontier Research Systems. These projects are evaluated under different procedures. Evaluation is conducted by the R&D Theme Evaluation Committee and Subcommittees, consisting of third-party experts and intellectuals. The R&D projects that are promoted by priority fund (Research Project; Category ) are subjected to the in-advance evaluation, and interim and result evaluation, the R&D projects promoted by basic fund (Research Project; Category , Personal Research, Cooperative Research) are subjected to the result evaluation. These evaluations are conducted strictly based on the evaluation items and methods set by the R&D Theme Evaluation Committee. In fiscal , the in-advance evaluation was conducted on July , , and the interim and result evaluation was conducted from October to December . Although JAMSTEC had some R&D projects pointed out the necessity of improvements, the results of evaluations were generally affirmative. The results of evaluations are disclosed on the JAMSTEC's homepage (http://www.jamstec.go.jp), together with the JAMSTEC's policy in response to the results and the documents of the relevant research. JAMSTEC is committed to advance of researches in accord with the results of evaluations. (1) In-advance Evaluation ) Themes for the evaluation (Attached Table ) The in-advance evaluation was conducted for the Research Project; Category that would newly start or would restructure in fiscal before budget request. ) System of the evaluation The R&D Theme Evaluation Committee (Table ) conducted evaluations. ) Method of the evaluation Each researcher made a presentation on his or her research theme, and follow-up question-and-answer sessions were held between the researcher and the committee. The committee evaluated the R&D projects based on the key points given in ) after discussion among the committee.

JAMSTEC 2002 Annual Report Research Evaluation ) Key points/factor of the evaluation The R&D themes were evaluated from the following key points. Adequacy of purposes, targets, and direction of the research and development Adequacy of planning and approaches of the research and development Adequacy of funds and framework for research and development Expected results and impacts of the research and development (2) Interim and Result Evaluation ) Themes for the evaluation (Attached Table ) The Interim and Result Evaluation was conducted for the Research Project; Category that have passed five years after commencement, or that have completed since last year. Also evaluated were basic researches (Research Project; Category , Personal research, Cooperative Research) that were completed since last year or before. ) System of the evaluation The R&D Theme Evaluation Committee (Table ) and four Subcommittees conducted evaluation. These four Subcommittees were the Subcommittee for the Ocean and Solid Earth Science, the Subcommittee for Ocean Observation and Research, the Subcommittee for Marine Biology and Ecology, and the Subcommittee for Marine Technology (Table ).
