The quality of information in the public sphere and its dissemination is of increasing concern. Furthermore, our understanding of the use of high-quality scientific information in state and local policymaking is lacking. This proposal addresses these gaps, focusing on the dissemination and use of research-based consensus reports by the public and their use state and local policymakers. Intermediary organizations often bridge the chasm between scholars and policymakers making scientific evidence useable and understandable. The work proposed in this project will develop understanding of how credible actors implement research findings in improving our society. The project will advance our understanding of knowledge intermediary organizations by examining how scientific and substantive intermediaries access, curate, and use the findings of science in their efforts to influence state and local policy-makers.The focus of the project is on the consensus reports of the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM). Using a unique set of downloads provided from NASEM, the project examines how intermediary organizations access and make use of these reports, with a particular emphasis on the utilization of the reports by state and local policy organizations. The project will contribute to theory-building in science policy and science communication, by providing an understanding of how stacked intermediaries function in the scientific ecosystem. At a broader level, this work contributes to a better understanding of dissemination around scientific information. This project is jointly funded by the Science of Science program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

公共领域的信息质量及其传播日益令人关切。此外，我们对在国家和地方政策制定中使用高质量科学信息的理解不足。该提案解决了这些差距，重点关注公众对基于研究的共识报告的传播和使用，以及州和地方决策者对这些报告的使用。中介组织经常在学者和决策者之间架起桥梁，使科学证据可用和可理解。本项目提出的工作将有助于了解可信的行为者如何在改善我们的社会中实施研究成果。该项目将通过研究科学和实质性中介机构如何在影响州和地方决策者的努力中获取、管理和使用科学发现，增进我们对知识中介组织的理解。该项目的重点是美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院（NASEM）的共识报告。该项目使用NASEM提供的一组独特的下载文件，检查中介组织如何访问和使用这些报告，特别强调州和地方政策组织对报告的利用。该项目将有助于科学政策和科学传播的理论建设，使人们了解堆叠的中介如何在科学生态系统中发挥作用。在更广泛的层面上，这项工作有助于更好地理解围绕科学信息的传播。该项目由科学计划和促进竞争性研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
