Science Policy Seminar Series

十多年来，美国国家科学基金会为科学政策界举办了一系列科学政策研讨会。PRA希望将该系列研讨会再持续三年。由于主持、规划和管理研讨会的现行合同于1987年11月失效，PRA发出了一份招标书，以确保届时新的承包商将到位。研讨会的目的是定期将科学政策界的成员聚集在一个场所，讨论普遍感兴趣和关注的科学政策问题。在美国国家科学基金会的参与和配合下，每年的七次研讨会的演讲者和主题都是由承包商选择的，承包商还负责管理和举办研讨会。该系列研讨会旨在使PRA、科学政策专业人员和该领域的本地研究生了解科学政策界面临的问题。

NSF has sponsored a series of science policy seminars for over a decade for the science policy community. PRA wishes to continue the seminar series for an additional three years. Since the current contract for conducting, planning and managing the seminars lapses in November, 1987, PRA issued an RFP to ensure that the new contractor will be in place by then. The purpose of the seminars is to bring together members of the science policy community on a periodic basis in a venue that allows for discussion of science policy issues that are of general interest and concern. Speakers and topics for each of the seven annual seminars are chosen, with NSF input and concurerence, by the contractor, who also manages and conducts the seminars. The seminar series serves to keep PRA, science policy professionals, and local graduate students in the field, abreast of the issues facing the science policy community.
