Abstract
MCDS is a centralized, automated total system designed to fulfill the information requirements of the U. S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research in the management of basic research. The scope of the system covers: (1) control of all proposal data from the time of receipt until a specific action completes the proposal phase; (2) the procurement cycle which is initiated upon the acceptance of a proposal; (3) the storage of all obligated purchase actions in a Historical file from beginning to completion of a research effort; and (4) a completed file which is a repository for all completed research investigations which are not a function of the active program. The purpose of this research was to analyze the needs of AFOSR's management personnel and to develop a comprehensive system which would furnish the output requirements of AFOSR management. (Author)
