The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) was the first "presidential initiative" in science under the administration of President George Bush. It began early in 1989. As the first such initiative it has pioneered institutionally. In 1993, the the Global Change Program involves eleven different agencies and about $1.3 billion in support of research and related activities. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has played a leadership role in the USGCRP. This pilot project will develop the theoretical and methodological tools to examine the development of this program. The pilot will allow the principal investigator to conduct a reconnaissance to determine who were the key actors in the interaction of federal agencies with each other and, possibly, with relevant parties in other countries, in the development of this new program. It will allow him to identify major projects sponsored under the program and criteria by which to select some for further study. The pilot will use actor-network theory to consider how NSF has worked with others to construct and maintain a coalition of diverse support behind this program. Findings will advance knowledge concerning the federal role in the social construction of science by linking actor-network theory with an important issue in science policy and by considering whether and how accountability for "good science" and for "policy relevance" can be reconciled.

美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）是布什政府在科学领域的第一个“总统倡议”。它开始于1989年初。作为第一个这样的倡议，它在制度上开创了先河。1993年，全球变化方案涉及11个不同的机构，大约13亿美元用于支助研究和有关活动。美国国家科学基金会（NSF）在USGCRP中发挥了领导作用。这个试点项目将开发理论和方法工具来检查该计划的发展。试点将允许首席调查员进行侦察，以确定谁是联邦机构之间互动的关键角色，并可能与其他国家的相关方进行互动，在这个新项目的发展中。这将使他能够确定在该计划下资助的主要项目和标准，从而选择一些项目进行进一步研究。该试点将使用行动者网络理论来考虑国家科学基金会如何与其他机构合作，在该项目背后建立和维持一个多样化的支持联盟。通过将行为者网络理论与科学政策中的一个重要问题联系起来，并考虑“好科学”和“政策相关性”的问责是否以及如何协调，研究结果将推进有关联邦在科学社会建设中的作用的知识。
