Program Research and Development Agenda (63)<\/h1>\n \n

Description:<\/strong><\/h3> \n\n

\n \n \n<\/p>

Because RUC is still emerging, much about how it can be best implemented remains to be learned. As part of the growth of the RUC program, the lead and implementing RUC agencies determine what needs to be researched and start the research. This may begin with a gap analysis\u2014determining what is unknown and what can be improved. This research may support and guide program expansion. It may involve research in many areas\u2014technology, economic\/policy, user experience, etc. <\/p> \n\n

Details:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To determine research needs, this building block starts with a gap analysis, which should be revisited at least once a year. Research should start by looking for any information urgently needed to keep the program running. If there are no such urgent needs, perform the research that seems most likely to provide the greatest value\u2014that is, the greatest return on research funds and time.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
