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.
