Over its more than thirty-year history, the Advanced Technologies and Instrumentation (ATI) program has provided grants to support technology development for ground-based astronomy. Research from this program has advanced adaptive optics, high resolution and multi-object spectroscopy, optical interferometry and synoptic surveys, to name just a few. Previous and ongoing scientific advances span the entire field of astronomy, from studies of the Sun to the distant universe. Through a combination of literature assessment and individual case studies, we present a survey of ATI funded research for optical-infrared astronomy. We find that technology development unfolds over a time period that is longer than an individual grant. A longitudinal perspective shows that substantial scientific gains have resulted from investments in technology.

Funding for Adaptive Optics in the United States by the National Science Foundation 2006-2009: An Update
2006年，我在GeminiFocus上发表了一篇文章，研究了从1995年到2006年中期美国天文自适应光学相关技术和仪器的资助情况。这篇文章的结论是，根据目前的预测，美国公共和私人望远镜的AO实施将很快严重落后于ESO VLT，这是由可用资金衡量的。它呼吁为AO的开发和实施注入大量的公共资金，这样当与私人资金相结合时，美国天文学界作为一个整体将能够在公共和私人望远镜上充分利用AO系统。2006年，我估计，尽管AODP计划终止，但2009年可用于AO相关非科学活动的公共（NSF）资金总额约为$6M. This article updates the analysis done in my previous article. I show that for 2009 the funds for AO related non-science activities are about $ 700万美元。在可用于AO相关非科学工作的NSF资金中，NSF的联邦刺激资金（ARRA）及其赠款计划占了$7M. I make the probably optimistic prediction that in 2010 there will be just over $ 600万美元的一个重要部分。因此，自2006年作出预测以来，用于AO开发和实施的公共资金并没有显著的实际增长。如果美国的私人资金和…
