Science Policy Research Reports: Educational Videos on Science Technology Innovation

在与政策相关的科学和创新主题上，传达科学研究成果仍然是当今世界的一个挑战？S。该项目旨在将擅长向广大受众传播科学和创新的专家聚集在一起。他们将专注于如何制作视频，以便于理解和直截了当的方式总结研究结果，并考虑计算机动画如何有助于说明和传达研究结果。这些视频的目的是合成、总结和澄清科学证据，并增加对政策深思熟虑的人的可及性和实用性。该项目将通过提供基于证据的分析信息来增强国家利益，并提供一个机会来测试最先进的视频传播研究成果的有效性。该项目启动了将在2018年1月的研讨会上展示的研究。研讨会有三个重点。第一个包括资助科学团队、跨学科项目所需的基础设施、在政策制定中使用研究档案以及促进在科学决策中使用证据。第二个主题以创新为中心，考察了专利对创新、扩散和获取的影响；员工竞业禁止协议；政府创新奖的使用；以及监管、放松管制和技术创新。第三个重点是解决劳动力问题，如科学和工程学博士后研究人员和科学劳动力的创业职业机会。这些视频将突出重点，适当地为它们制作动画，并参考书面的科学政策研究报告以获取进一步的信息。

Conveying scientific research findings on topics related to science and innovation which have relevance to policy remains a challenge in today?s world. This project aims to bring together experts skilled in communicating science and innovation to broad audiences. They will focus on how to produce videos which summarize research findings in an accessible and straightforward manner and consider how computer animation could be useful to illustrate and convey the findings. The aim of the videos is to synthesize, summarize, and clarify scientific evidence and increase its accessibility and utility for those who deliberate over policy. This project will enhance the national interest by providing analytically-based information based on evidence and provide an opportunity to test the effectiveness of state-of-the-art videos to disseminate research findings. This project initiates research that will be presented at a workshop in January of 2018. The workshop has three focuses. The first includes funding team science, the infrastructure required for interdisciplinary projects, the use of research portfolios in policy-making, and facilitating the use of evidence in science making policy. A second topic centers on innovation and examines the effects of patents on innovation, diffusion, and access; employee non-compete agreements; the use of innovation prizes in government; and regulation, deregulation, and technical innovation. A third focus addresses workforce issues such as entrepreneurial career opportunities for science and engineering postdoctoral researchers and the scientific workforce. The videos will highlight the key points, animate them as appropriate and refer to the written Science Policy Research Reports for further information.
