Science plays a critical role in informing the multi-trillion dollar investment needed to rebuild and modernize American infrastructure to better serve societal needs. This science policy research report will address the science-to-action gap for infrastructure by identifying how public investments can be better managed to produce information to inform the next generation of infrastructure design, construction and operation. This review will help guide science policy-makers on investments best suited to inform the rebuilding and expansion of modern, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure critical to support U.S. businesses, communities, and citizens in the 21st century.Drawing upon pertinent and critical evidence on science and boundary organizations, and related practitioner expertise, this research utilizes innovative and robust methods to advance fundamental knowledge about the science-action-gap for infrastructure investment. The collaborative research team will identify evidence-based science policy ideas through a series of input gathering methods, including expert elicitation.

科学在为重建和现代化美国基础设施以更好地服务于社会需求所需的数万亿美元投资提供信息方面发挥着关键作用。这份科学政策研究报告将通过确定如何更好地管理公共投资来产生信息，为下一代基础设施的设计、建设和运营提供信息，从而解决基础设施从科学到行动的差距。本综述将有助于指导科学政策制定者进行最适合的投资，以告知重建和扩建现代化的、有弹性的和可持续的基础设施，这些基础设施对支持美国企业、社区和公民在21世纪世纪至关重要。这项研究利用创新和强有力的方法，推进关于基础设施投资的科学-行动-差距的基本知识。合作研究小组将通过一系列收集意见的方法，包括专家启发，确定以证据为基础的科学政策想法。
