Interorganizational Coordination 



Several research studies focusing on the pro- 

 cess of developing coordination among organiza- 

 tions have been completed. Research objectives 

 included: (I) Description and measurement of the 

 amount and kind of interaction among organiza- 

 tions possible at local, community, district, and 

 State levels; (2) specification of the effect of lev- 

 els of interorganizational relations upon the local 

 community's effectiveness in meeting local needs; 

 (3) specification of factors that lead to increased 

 coordination among agencies; and (4) empirical 

 studies on rural development agency systems, 

 natural resource agency systems, health organiza- 

 tions, and low income systems.

Current and Future Research 

 Emphasis 



The Congress has explicitly charged the Agri- 

 culture Department and the cooperating federally 

 funded State agricultural and forestry research 

 organizations with responsibility for both basic 

 and applied research necessary to achieve the 

 Nation's agricultural research mission. Thus, 

 these public agricultural research organizations 

 have a clear mandate to identify and to implement 

 areas of basic and applied research. As stated ear- 

 lier, the research strategy of these organizations is 

 to allocate available resources over time among 

 the total array of researchable problems in the 

 basic-applied research continuum in such a way 

 as to make a maximum contribution to the mis- 

 sions. 



The process of identifying the mix of problem 

 areas to be funded is a complex one, and an ex- 

 planation of the theoretical or operational process 

 for identifying that mix is beyond the scope of 

 this report. However, it is not difficult to identify 

 those broad areas of science for which the public- 

 ly funded agricultural and forestry research orga- 

 nizations must accept a primary responsibility for 

 ensuring that basic research is adequately sup- 

 ported. 



Agricultural and forestry systems are primarily 

 biological processes and environment based. Thus 

 the biological sciences and those areas of the geo- 

 physical sciences that relate to the occurrence and 

 control of the microenvironmental conditions 

 within which biological processes of agriculture
