The main data generation of the Atomic and Molecular (A+M) Data Unit of the IAEA is the Co-ordinated Research Project (CRP). The International Research Council Subcommittee on Atomic and Molecular Data for Fusion recommends topics for new CRPs to be initiated by the A+M Unit. The typical CRP has a length of three to five years. At the start of the CRP a Research Co-ordination Meeting (RCM) is held with the purpose of formulating a detailed work plan. Later RCMs progress of the work is reported. At the conclusion of the CRP the results are compiled in a volume of the journal Atomic and Plasma-Material Interaction Data for Fusion. Numerical results are also added to the electronic database as appropriate. The Unit normally has three to four active CRPs. In this presentation the specific research goals of the active CRPs will be summarized with an indication of the results obtained. In addition, the topics of planned future CRPs will be indicated.

An additional method of generating new data is to bring experts to the Unit for a single meeting on a selected topic. Such meetings can result in providing advice on a particular topic, on data for a particular process, or a new capability to be made widely available. Recently consultants to the Unit have provided interfaces to run several calculational tools through the Internet. Specific examples will be presented.
