A Science of Science Approach to Analyzing and Innovating the Biomedical Research Enterprise
Funds research into how biomedical research itself works — who does it, how it is funded, and what makes it productive. NSF and NIH pay jointly.
This is science studying itself. NSF's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences directorate and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences at NIH are jointly funding work that analyses the biomedical research enterprise using the methods of science-of-science policy research.
The two agencies came at it from different sides. NSF's Science of Science: Discovery, Communication and Impact pr…
Science-of-science analysis of the biomedical research enterprise — how biomedical research is organised, funded, communicated and staffed, and what shapes its productivity and its workforce. Joint NSF and National Institute of General Medical Sciences funding.
