结论 |
A nonintegrated analytical environment, such as the PDE, impedes the efficient operation of a RAND FFRDC study relative to existing arrangements by eliminating the alignment of incentives between researcher and analytical environment.- The additional burdens imposed by the PDE process require delays and regulatory burden that do not improve the final research product. These additional costs could be outweighed by benefits from efficiencies or data safeguarding; however, the authors find limited evidence of realized efficiencies in the research process or improvements in data safeguarding relative to existing, required RAND FFRDC processes.
The PDE could serve as an alternative analytical environment for studies and analyses instead of as a single centralized environment.- A single centralized analytical environment for research processes within DoD has the potential to reduce analytical capacity and discourage researchers from accumulating database-specific knowledge.
- The PDE represents a potential opportunity for DoD to engage academic researchers outside of existing research support organizations with recurring DoD sponsor relationships.
- The addition of the PDE as an alternative environment (i.e., a complement) instead of as a substitute strengthens DoD's analytical capacity.

摘要 |
- Ideally, future DoD efforts would focus on establishing clear requirements and a set of environments that satisfy the diverse range of analytical needs of DoD sponsors, provide quick-turn capabilities and the accumulation of DoD institutional expertise among subject-matter experts, and can be consistently and routinely monitored to ensure compliance with DoD data safeguarding and privacy policies.
- Once requirements are clearly established and the set of analytical environments are known, sponsors of DoD research can choose the combination of research expertise and analytical environment that produces the quality research they require in an efficient, timely, and secure manner.
- To improve processes, the PDE should significantly reduce response times, provide consistent and easy access to the PDE for qualified users, send proactive communication about planned or unplanned outages, and provide more user-controlled processes.
- To improve user-friendliness, the PDE should (1) build the ability to execute programs from a command prompt so that projects can be run in the background without having to retain a connection to the PDE and (2) provide tutorials and example code for accessing the PDE from Windows or Macintosh computers and for accessing data through Oracle.
