Georgia Tech - Economic Development Institute - The Center for Economic Development Services Technology-based Economic Development. Almost every community wants to attract high-technology companies because these firms usually offer higher living standards. In addition to attracting out-of-area firms, communities also are exploring whether growing local high-tech companies is feasible and how to infuse more innovation capability into existing firms to enhance their competitiveness. At the same time, developing science and technology sectors requires systematic and continuous attention to additional elements summarized in the figure below.)

Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science (CSISS)
Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science (CSISS) recognizes the growing significance of space, spatiality, location, and place in social science research. It seeks to develop unrestricted access to tools and perspectives that will advance the spatial analytic capabilities of researchers throughout the social sciences. CSISS is funded by the National Science Foundation under its program of support for infrastructure in the social and behavioral sciences.

Telecommunications & Information Policy Institute
Telecommunications & Information Policy Institute The Telecommunications and Information Policy Institute (TIPI) was established in May 1996 by the University of Texas at Austin, in response to the unprecedented opportunities in Texas associated with telecommunications. Originally established as a statewide resource, TIPI has grown to play a key role in advising both the public and private sectors in setting priorities and allocating resources at the state, national and international levels.
The 21st Century Project
The 21st Century Project The 21st Century Project is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research and education program on science and technology policy, with a particular emphasis on the Internet, information policy, telecommunications, and the social and political trends tied to emerging new technologies. The 21st Century Project is affiliated with the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs, the graduate school of public policy at the University of Texas at Austin. The director of the Project is Gary Chapman, longtime activist and commentator on technology and society.
Community informatics plays a role in "place based community health research." The goal being to build "informing frameworks" for rural communities (or any neighborhood really, anywhere). Use ICT to "build differential competitive advantage." Build ICT-enabled "Community Decision Support" systems (designed for community processes, technical assistance, and re-invigoration.)

This is their third grant from the IMLS in recent years.
National Patterns of R&D Resources
National Patterns of R&D Resources: 2000 Data Update (current to March 2001)The Division of Science Resources Studies (SRS) of the National Science Foundation publishes the report, National Patterns of R&D Resources. This report describes and analyzes current patterns of research and development (R&D) in the United States, in relation to the historical record and the reported R&D levels of other industrialized countries. Prior to the report's publication, SRS makes available "early release tables" and "data update tables" (like those provided below) thereby giving researchers early access to the most recent data which they may need for their research.
Community Informatics Resource Center
Policy Programs/TSPA Centers The Community Informatics Resource Center (CIRC) makes policy-relevant information and resources available to community-based decision makers throughout rural America . Specifically, CIRC addresses the spatial and temporal dimensions of issues impacting rural America , by incorporating Internet-based geographic information systems, remote sensing technologies, and other data visualization and analytic tools. CIRC's principle goal is to rapidly transform data and static reports into interactive visualization and analytic tools for local decision support.
