Colleagues,
This is a reminder that the July 30, 2010 deadline for submitting
proposals for the NSTC's Science of Science Policy Interagency Group
Workshop on the Science of Science Measurement is rapidly approaching.
Please see the attached flyer for details (and the text version below).
We'd appreciate it if you would distribute the flyer to other interested
parties - and apologies in advance for cross posting.
Workshop Goals
1. To create a dialogue between the Federal S&T agencies and the
research community about relevant models, tools,
and data that advance scientific measurement in key areas of national
S&T interest:
* Economic benefits;
* Social, health and environmental benefits;
* S&T workforce development; and
* Technology development and deployment.
2. To identify a joint Science of Science Policy research agenda for the
Federal S&T agencies and the research community.
Workshop Motivation
The increasing national and international focus on the value of science
and technology (S&T) for advancing innovation has increased pressure on
Federal S&T agencies to make, and account for, wise investments. Since
wise management depends on priority setting, resource management and
evaluation on the part of agency science programs, there is a clear
urgency to link what has been learned from frontier research with the
practical applications of the measurement of S&T outcomes in a way that
can be immediately used. This workshop builds on the Science of Science
Policy Roadmap

Workshop Call
The NSTC's interagency task group on Science of Science Policy is
soliciting 2 page proposals in each topic area that
provide an outline of a review and assessment of the most important
current research in any of the four topic areas of
interest. Three proposals from each of the four topic areas will be
selected and the authors will be asked to produce a
10-page paper based on that outline. The authors will receive a $2,000
honorarium and travel expenses to Washington
for the workshop. Their assessments will be presented in panels during
the two day workshop.
The Scientific Committee will select proposals based on the following
review criteria:
* Novelty;
* Intellectual merit;
* Value to the Federal S&T agencies; and
* Clarity and thoroughness of the proposal.
