Hawaii State Center for Science Policy and Technology Assessment

摘要

Six tasks were originally outlined for the program to provide guidelines for a State science policy: to survey Hawaii's scientific resources, research and development efforts, and future needs; to determine relevance to Hawaii of various fields of science and technology and to establish priorities; to study institutions and policymaking bodies in order to coordinate State efforts; to select and carry out methods of assessment of opportunities for science and technology applications in Hawaii; to compile a list of authorities in forecasting and assessment, and monitor ongoing developments; and to maintain liaison with projects developing environmental and social-system models for the State. These tasks have been carried out and a survey was made to determine the effectiveness of the Center's approach and impact of the project.
