A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) will convene a two-day public workshop to explore new types of experiments and evaluation to improve the outcomes of federal funding of scientific research. The current system for making funding decisions raises a number of concerns--including, for example, potential biases that may favor more established researchers, less risky proposals, and a narrow applicant pool. The workshop will gather leading researchers in the burgeoning area of the science of science funding to propose experiments and evaluations in federal funding mechanisms to address these concerns. A workshop proceedings will be prepared by a designated rapporteur.
