Can Administrative Measures Resolve a Political Conflict
The current controversy over the politicization of science by the Bush administration is, by definition, a political controversy. As such, it must be addressed by political measures as well as the administrative strategies that Dr. Lambright suggests. The administration’s actions go beyond the bounds of “business as usual” and reflect the interests of its powerful constituencies, as well as the unease of many citizens with some scientific and tec…

Funding Science in America
The growth in earmarking of appropriations to specific academic institutions in support of research or facilities (sometimes referred to as the "academic pork barrel") is one of the big stories of science and technology policy during the past two decades. Congress gave more than one billion dollars in earmarked funds to universities in fiscal year 2000. Allocating research funds in this manner rewards political clout rather than scientific merit,…

Endless Frontier or Just a Mirage
Given that the United States lacks a coherent national science policy, the question then becomes whether such policy should (or could) be developed in the current political environment. The author explores this question from the perspectives of overall budgetary support, priority-setting, and research relevance, concluding that the exercise of developing a national policy, even if ultimately unsuccessful, could help to reaffirm science's national…

Integrity in Research
The views of the scientific community on integrity in research are not well understood. A recent survey provided some new insights into these views and the personal experiences of a sample of U.S. scientists with the issue of misconduct and fraud in science. It also suggests some of the difficulties and limitations in interpreting and communicating information on this subject

A Strategic Analysis of Science and Technology Policy
Education in Science, Engineering and Public Policy
Over the past twenty years, many US universities have established graduate programmes in science, engineering and public policy. A study, conducted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) examined 21 such programmes, and surveyed more than 550 graduates and students. Thirteen programmes derive from public policy/social science traditions; the other eight are based in engineering. In general, those that are engineering- b…

Science and Technology Policy
Policy Innovation in Federal R&D
Scientists and Government
One of the most important developments of the 20th century has been the growing interaction of science, technology, and society. The reciprocal relations of science with technology, and of both with society, had been ongoing long before this century. However, the rapid movement from basic scientific discoveries to the building and use of an atomic bomb made clear to all that these relations could have awesome consequences. Sputnik and the ensuing…
Technology Transfer as a Problem in Interorganizational Relationships
In the process of developing technologies for defense, space, and atomic energy, the federal government has invented new products and processes that could be useful in solving domestic, social problems. How can such technologies be more effectively transferred? It is argued that an interorganizational approach to technology transfer could help accelerate utilization. Federal agencies, manufac turers, and various public and private users need to w…
