I This study explored the policy implications of a specific jointly funded government-industry-acadtmc research and development initiative on future plan-. The researcher sought to uncover what trends or patterns of the N a t i d Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) had a positive affect on the outcomes of the consortium. By identhese trends, the research may be able to help foster a more practical transition to follow-n programs. AGATE focused on developing innovative cockpit technologies that highlighted safety, affordabihty, and ease-of-use based in such areas as flight systems and mkgratd design and manufacturing. A quahtative analytic methodological approach encompassing qualitative data analysis sofbme and the policy research construct was applied to analyze the organizatid policy trends through the application of lessons learned from the AGATE program with reference to the current NASA program-the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). Both NASA programs consist of a similar participant pool. By examining the effects of r e c o m m ~ o n s from previous studies, this analysis illustrated the transitional effects identified through the analysis. This planning framework illustrated the evolution of program and goal structure and the catalytic effect on the aviation industry and product development through increased interaction. This study's research question focused on identifying possible underlying trends that may influence future programs by iden-g and exploring the patterns of a joint research alliance through data analysis. Additionally, secondary research questions looked for common trends in areas that led to the program's success as well as points of dissension. This study examined the salient pa&rns that emerged within the National Aeronautics and Space Admmsrra . . tion (NASA) Advanced General Aviation Transj~~rt Experiments (AGATE) program. By identifying patterns that indicated how this organization functioned and performed, the study revealed valuable information that may contribute to similar initiatives, such as the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). A qualitative framework was employed for the design of this study given that, "Qualitative research is an inquiry process of understanding based on distinct methodologrcal trad~hons or lnqutry that explore a soclru or human problemn (CreswelI, 1998, p. 15). From this qualitative framework, the researcher analyzed a dataset consisting of interviews with key members of AGATE, a recent indq-univemity-government alliance (Scarpellini Metz, 2002). The data analysis focused on field notes and tranmipts from the interviews to code and identify patterns within the dataset as well as exploring the areas mentioned with the highest frequency. Moreover, the policy research construct was applied to specific areas of the =search to further examine the findings of the dataset produced by the inte~ewing tool. This strengthened the reliability and validity of the instrument. Additional analysis was conducted using NVivo qualitative software (NVivo, 200 1) to further validate the findings. The opportunity to take lessons learned from one NASA program and apply them to another follow+n program should help in the effectiveness and productivity of successive programs. Data analysis, through the policy research construct and the qualitative analysis software, investigates the environment and basis of problems policy attempts to solve as weu as me poucy responsescompetence in lieu of these problems (Scharpf, 2000). The successes and failures of NASA-funded progmms have a JAAER, Winter 2004 Page 43 1 Metz and Bowen: Agate Outcomes Analysis: Using the Foundation for SATS Published by ERAU Scholarly Commons, 2004 AGATE Foundation for SA TS direct impact on the current and future programs under consideration. By seeing how such programs operate, policy decisions are made and future plans influenced. AGATE and SATS were developed to work in conjunction with each other with mutually shared information and resources
