Doctoral Dissertation Research: Scientizing Science Policy: Implications for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy

介绍该奖项将支持博士论文研究的影响，在联邦政府最近的决定：制定科学政策战略的基础上科学研究的创新，在科学和技术。这一决定的实施在本论文中被称为“科学化的科学政策”，简称SSP。研究人员将使用跨学科的方法来追踪SSP框架内的出现，历史和正在进行的斗争，该框架是通过科学和技术政策办公室的科学政策（SoSP）和国家科学基金会的科学和创新政策（SciSIP）计划制定的。它还将评估SSP对形成和评估SoSP和SciSIP计划的影响，以便更好地了解SSP框架所带来的承诺，潜力和失去的机会。研究人员将对参与或参与构建SSP框架以及框架之外的政策和研究社区成员进行深入访谈。主要目标是确定SSP框架是如何形成的，以及它如何改变了美国科学，技术和创新政策和计划的格局。智力价值鉴于SSP在科学，技术和创新政策领域的重要性，通过科学和技术研究的透镜理解SSP框架的历史动态将为科学领域之间的相互作用提供新的见解，政治和政策。它还将促进讨论SSP框架如何为科学，技术和创新政策界创造新的机遇或挑战。本研究的结果也将促进SSP框架的进一步发展。潜在的更广泛的影响分析SSP框架的关键过程应该提供机会，以扩大SSP框架的范围，以更好地整合一系列社会科学观点。这将为未来的SoSP和SciSIP计划提供资源;通过为科学，技术和创新政策提出新的科学工具包，模型和数据基础设施，鼓励科学和技术研究渗透到SSP实践中;它应该有助于将SSP研究扩展到以前被排除的主题，如评估科学的非经济社会影响。

IntroductionThis award will support doctoral dissertation research on the impacts of a recent decision in the federal government: To formulate science policy strategies based on scientific studies of innovation in science and technology. Implementation of this decision is referred to in the dissertation as "scientizing science policy," or SSP for brevity. The researcher will use an interdisciplinary approach to trace the emergence, history, and ongoing struggles within the SSP framework as enacted through the Office of Science and Technology Policy's Science of Science Policy (SoSP) and the National Science Foundation's Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) programs. It will also assess the impacts of the SSP on shaping and evaluating SoSP and SciSIP programs in order to provide a better understanding of the promises, potentials, and lost opportunities presented by the SSP framework. The researcher will conduct in-depth interviews with policy and research community members who have been affiliated with or engaged in constructing the SSP framework as well as those who are outside the framework. The primary goal is to determine how the SSP framework was shaped and how it changed the landscape of US science, technology, and innovation policies and programs.Intellectual MeritGiven the importance of SSP within the science, technology, and innovation policy field, understanding the historical dynamics of the SSP framework, through lens of Science and Technology Studies will offer new insights into the interactions between the realms of science, politics, and policy. It will also promote discussion of how the SSP framework creates either new opportunities or challenges for the science, technology, and innovation policy community. The results of this research should also promote further development of the SSP framework. Potential Broader ImpactsAnalyzing key processes of the SSP framework should offer opportunities to broaden the purview of the SSP framework to better integrate a range of social scientific perspectives. That should in turn provide resources for future SoSP and SciSIP programs; encourage the infiltration of Science and Technology Studies into SSP practices by suggesting new scientific toolkits, models, and data infrastructure for science, technology, and innovation policy; and it should contribute to the expansion of SSP research into previously excluded topics such as the assessment of non-economic societal impacts of science.
