BOSTID and Other NAS Reports on S&T for Development


For many years I was the project officer in USAID for the grant to the National Academies that supported the work of its Board on Science and Technology for International Development (BOSTID). A long series of reports was published under that project. Most are out of date, but many still contain information that would be at least a start in developing an approach to innovation of technologies of potential economic importance to developing countries. The NAS has also published reports using other funding with similar value, including reports published after the demise of BOSTID. Many of these reports have now been made available online.
