Data for this investigation camef rom a national study of U.S. researcha nd development laboratories sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The data were collected in 1987,u sing both phone interviews and mailed questionnairesa dministeredt o lab directors. A total of 1,341 labs, selectedb y random probability and stratified sampling (by lab size and institutional setting), were contacted.T he responser ates for the two data collections were 71% for telephonei nterviews and 53% for mailed questionnairesB. ecauseo f missing data,h owever,t he total number of valid casesa vailable for analysis varies acrossv ariables.

N2 - This study examines the interaction effect of resource dependence and an R&D lab's research orientation on its involvement in interorganizational linkage activity. Data from a national sample of R&D labs in the U.S. support the general prediction that the stronger a lab's orientation toward basic research, the less likely that it will participate in interlab collaborative projects as a way to deal with its resource dependence problems. These results are obtained after controlling for the main effects of resource dependence and basic research orientation, and possible confounding effects from several other variables, including institutional setting and lab size. Implications of the findings are discussed, including their relevance to the design of public policy to promote collaborative R&D among U.S. organizations.
