Examining the Fate of Experience Based Knowledge in a Science Policy Process

近几十年来，专家和决策者开始认识到外行专家作为政策有用信息来源的作用，并对这些作用进行审查。 本研究报告审查了在海洋渔业管理领域使用这种经验知识的情况。这种知识虽然与基于研究的知识有质的不同，但在政策成果方面很重要。 该奖项提供支持，使美国和加拿大的工业成员和政府及学术科学家之间的合作研究数据收集，在一定程度上。 这将需要从质量上探讨合作研究的作用，以及利用基于经验的知识来产生关于包括鳕鱼在内的底栖鱼的科学知识和管理决策。 这一初步工作的目标是对北美科学政策过程中使用经验知识的情况进行准确和详细的叙述，这可以成为进一步更精确和比较研究的概括和假设的基础。 该项目将包括与欧洲联盟从事类似项目的同事举行一次会议，为进一步研究做准备。 该项目有助于了解知识是如何发展的，并改善公众参与决策的情况。

In recent decades, experts and decision makers have begun to recognize the roles of lay experts as sources of information useful to policy, and to subject those roles to scrutiny. The present study examines the use of such experienced-based knowledge in the domain of marine fisheries management. This knowledge, although qualitatively different from research-based knowledge, has been important in policy outcomes. This award provides support to allow data collection on cooperative research between industry members and government and academic scientists in the United States and , to a limited extent, Canada. It will entail a qualitative exploration of the role of cooperative research and the use of experienced-based knopwledge in the production of scientific knowledge and management decisions for groundfish, including cod. The goal of this preliminary work is to develop accurate and detailed narrative accounts of the uses of experience-based knowledge in the science policy process in North America, which can become the basis of generalizations and hypotheses for further more refined and comparative research. The project will include a meeting with colleagues in the European Union engaged in similar projects, to prepare for further research. This project contributes to understanding how knowledge develops and to improving public participation in policy making.
