Science Board to Host Research Priority Setting Symposium
The National Science Board (NSB) will host a two-day
public symposium May 21-22 to discuss priority-setting
and coordination in the development of federal budgets
for research. NSB’s Committee on Strategic Science
and Engineering Policy Issues has undertaken a two-year
study on the topic and recently distributed a draft
discussion document titled The Scientific Allocation
of Scientific Resources, summarizing the committee's
preliminary findings and recommendations (see: http://www.nsf.gov/nsb/documents/2001/nsb0139).
The symposium will focus on this document, and will

The symposium is open to the public, and journalists
