crl-13358	Freides, Thelma	The Federal Investment in Knowledge of Social Problems; Knowledge and Policy: The Uncertain Connection (Book Review)	1979	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1570	85	58	According to its chairman, Professor Donald Stokes of Princeton, the latest study differs from its predecessors in considering the limitations as well as the potentialities of social research for governmental purposes; in encompassing all aspects of knowledge production and application (including, for example, collection of social statistics) in addition to research and development as conventionally defined; and in including nonfederal users and uses in calculating the benefits of federal knowledge-promoting ac- tivities. Among the study group's recommen- dations are that federal research sponsorship be more -systematically planned, as well as increased; that research users outside gov- ernment be involved in planning; that dis- semination activities include periodic syntheses of the knowledge gained from re- search (a propos.al that recalls the Weinberg Report of 1963); and that the role of knowl- edge brokers-officials whose job is to iden- tify and elucidate for government and the scientific community their opportunities for mutual betterment-be enlarged.	cache/crl-13358.pdf	txt/crl-13358.txt
