Abstract
Recently, several articles have argued for changes in the kinds of evaluation being conducted for research, technology, and development (RTD) programs. Among other suggestions, these are of special merit: (1) a more macro and systemic focus, (2) concentrating on the processes of generating innovation, (3) using theory to guide the RTD evaluation, and (4) identifying blockages and obstacles. The authors put forth a multilevel, theories‐based framework of indicators for RTD evaluations that addresses these suggestions and is a guide for policy makers in policy formulation and reformulation. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
