Improving the Use of Science in Government
by Matthew Madia, 6/4/2008
The Project on Scientific Knowledge and Public Policy at the George Washington University is looking for government scientists to participate in a project which will allow for better understanding of how science is used in policymaking and how the process can be improved:
Scientists in Government is a two-year project whose goal is to promote and shape the public discussion about the rights and responsibilities of government scientists, as part of the larger effort to ensure that government uses the best science to protect and promote the health and well-being of Americans. In order to achieve this goal, we will collect and analyze data on the role and functioning of scientists employed by government agencies; produce a series of reports and policy proposals for future policymakers and government leaders; and communicate the findings and proposals in a manner that facilitates their use by policymakers.
