摘要:Significant resources are spent each year globally to support research and development efforts, and an ultimate goal of this research is to create new technologies that will improve lives and/or reduce costs. Funding agencies, foundations, citizen groups and businesses are often looking for evidence that the proposed technology will indeed accomplish one or both of those goals. Providing such evidence is especially important when the proposed new technology will require large amounts of intellectual and financial resources to be developed and deployed and/or is targeted for deployment in life and death situations, such as those that emerge in emergency health care.
