... policies and practice might have the greatest impact on research inno vations. Because transdisciplinary and transsector research play particularly important roles in advancing scientific discovery, the report recommends pursuing a deep conceptual and functional connectedness across scientific disciplines (particularly the physi cal and life sciences)
From page 178...
... In light of this observation, the panel recommends four guiding principles to support research funding agencies undertaking sci ence assessments in support of budget allocation: context matters, do no harm, transparency is critical, and expert judgment remains invaluable.
