The genesis for the Advanced Technology Program's (ATP) Joint Venture Survey was a study conducted by Jeffrey Dyer and Benjamin Powell, under contract to ATP. They interviewed companies in 18 automotive ATP joint ventures to research collaborations and to determine what factors contributed to successful joint ventures. Their findings are published in the study, Determinants of Success in ATP-Funded R&D Joint Ventures: A Preliminary Analysis Based on 18 Automobile Manufacturing Projects, GCR 00-803, Gaithersburg, MD, December 2001.

Andrew Wang, an economist in the ATP's Economic Assessment Office (EAO), contracted with Jeff Dyer and Westat, a survey research organization, to develop a survey of all ATP joint ventures. Andrew worked with Jennifer O'Brien at Westat, who oversaw the design, coordination, collection, and analysis of data from the Survey of ATP Joint Ventures. Stephen Campbell, an economist in EAO, assisted with the work. A forthcoming study using the results from the survey is expected to be published in 2006. The study, Determinants of Success in ATP-Funded Research Joint Ventures, is co-authored by Jeffrey H. Dyer, Benjamin C. Powell, Mariko Sakakibara, and Andrew J. Wang.

Jennifer O'Brien wrote the factsheets in this report. Stephanie Shipp, Director, EAO, and Kathleen McTigue, an economist in EAO, reviewed all versions of the factsheets. Brian Belanger, former ATP Deputy Director, and Lorel Wisniewski, current ATP Deputy Director, reviewed the final version of the factsheets.
