Pasteur's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation Donald E. Stokes
Publisher: Brookings Institution Press

Speculation on science, technology, and society. The punchline of the book is encapsulated in this article by Stokes [link]. Quadrant is the most provocative in suggesting a new model that seems broadly applicable across the different sciences. But really, when you look In essence, Bell Labs took the best in the world and aimed them towards “use-inspired basic research”, what science policy scholar, academic administrator, and NSF advisor Donald Stokes identified as Pasteur's Quadrant. Brookings Institute Press; 1997. Stokes DE: Pasteur's quadrant: basic science and technological innovation. Stokes D: Pasteur's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation. Donald Stokes (Pascal's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation, 1997) stresses work that is motivated by both considerations for use and fundamental understanding. Stokes has written a book entitled Pasteur's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation. In recent years the concept of "translational medicine" has been advanced in an attempt to catalyze the medical applications of basic biomedical research. As conventional wisdom has it, basic research is a core input for economic innovation, and economic innovation is good for everybody. The definition of Health Systems Research used in this evaluation is based on the later .. In addition, health systems and policy research should be considered downstream, and should look at "policies, organizations and programs, but does not address clinical management of patients or basic scientific research" [2]. His favorite example of “use-inspired basic research” is Louis Pasteur's repeated success in working on genuine problems such as the spoilage of milk and failures of wine fermentation, to produce basic science breakthroughs about bacterial processes and vaccines.
