The Office of Science and Technology Policy, through the NSTC Committee on Science, established the Science of Science Policy (SoSP) Interagency Working Group to develop an evidence-based framework for informing policy investments in research and development, and assess the impacts of those investments broadly. Themes and goals for this emergent research field were outlined in a Federal Research Roadmap , and this effort was also highlighted in the FY 2011 Budget Priorities Memorandum from OSTP and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The memorandum asks Federal agencies to "develop outcome-oriented goals for their science and technology activities, establish procedures and timelines for evaluating the performance of these activities, and target investments toward high-performing programs. Agencies should develop 'science of science policy' tools that can improve management of their research and development portfolios and better assess the impact of their science and technology investments. Sound science should inform policy decisions, and agencies should invest in relevant science and technology as appropriate." The initial goal of STAR METRICS is to provide mechanisms that furnish participating universities and federal agencies with a reliable and consistent means to account for the number of scientists and staff that are on research institution payrolls, supported by federal funds.
NIH, in conjunction with NSF and OSTP, has engaged in a partnership with universities entitled STAR METRICS . STAR METRICS is a multi-year project being created in direct response to the reporting requirements of the ARRA, and aims to provide American taxpayers with accurate information on the value of their investments.
