Book Description

Independent Research and Development (IR & D) is research and development initiated and conducted by industry. IR & D is viewed by industry as essential to advance technology, develop new and improved products, and develop new business. Since the late 1930s, IR & D carried out by firms developing and producing defense systems has been recognized by the U.S. government as a necessary cost of defense business and at least some percentage of this cost has been reimbursed by the government. What percentage is to be reimbursed, how that percentage is determined, and what type work is to be reimbursed have all been matters of debate. The Department of Defense (DoD) IR & D Program is a vital element in the DoD's overall research and development effort aimed at ensuring U.S. forces continue to have a technological edge over any future foe. In FY 1995, reported reimbursable IR & D and Bid and Proposal (B & P) was about 12 percent of the overall DoD research and development budget. These funds enable industry to explore new technologies and next generation products.

Book Description

This study was to determine the impact of Independent Research and Development (IR & D) regulations on companies not required to negotiate advanced IR & D agreements. The study used data gathered from a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire addressed the contract characteristics of these companies and the impact of the regulations in the areas of (1) cost allowability and allocability, (2) the IR & D ceiling formula and (3) the nature of IR & D costs and their incurrance. The responses to the survey showed that approximately 30% of the companies doing business with the Government were not involved in any significant IR & D efforts. A significant number of companies engaged in IR & D efforts expressed some dissatisfaction with the IR & D regulations. In general, however most companies indicated the present system was acceptable.

Book Description

In the realm of health care, privacy protections are needed to preserve patients' dignity and prevent possible harms. Ten years ago, to address these concerns as well as set guidelines for ethical health research, Congress called for a set of federal standards now known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule. In its 2009 report, Beyond the HIPAA Privacy Rule: Enhancing Privacy, Improving Health Through Research, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Health Research and the Privacy of Health Information concludes that the HIPAA Privacy Rule does not protect privacy as well as it should, and that it impedes important health research.

Book Description

Governance by regulation – rules propounded and enforced by bureaucracies – is taking a growing share of the sum total of governance. Once thought to be an American phenomenon, it is now a central form of state action in every part of the world, including Europe, Latin America, and Asia, and it is at the core of much international lawmaking. In Comparative Law and Regulation, original contributions by leading scholars in the field focus both on the legal dimension of regulation and on how this dimension operates in those places that have turned to regulation to meet their obligations.
