ABSTRACT
Continuing to develop a promising line of enquiry carries nothing like the respect and prestige of starting a new one, and it is easier to commission new research than to work out how to use what exists already. Project experience or research findings may be encoded in a set of standards for others to follow. The funding of research itself needs to include a place that recognizes the function of transition. Grounded research in real situations has implications for the format of research administration. Designated amounts of money for research, demonstration projects, or publicity campaigns, have had little effect in the past and may even be counterproductive in lulling people into thinking that the issue has been dealt with. However, relevant changes in institutions and processes would amount to a culture change. Institutionalized splitting, of course, extends to the research councils.
