OIA-0236908RichardsonFunding is provided to the Potomac Institute For Policy Studies to conduct a study to define and document likely S&T trends and their impacts on national security over the next 20 years. In order to address the goal the following questions will be addressed:-What S&T trends are most likely to yield products to benefit national security?-What S&T trends are likely to pose dangers to our society? -How are the important trends likely to evolve and what indicators will herald new and significant capabilities or threats?-Who will be the most likely producer of the necessary capabilities and threats?-Are there roadblocks in the way of scientific or technological progress that may deter these capabilities and threats? At least six S&T areas will be examined during the conduct of this project: Advanced Materials; Nanotechnology; Life Sciences; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; Energy; and Information Technology.The results of this study will feed into a larger study (under multi-agency sponsorship) aimed at suggesting ways to improve the quality of science and technology information involved in making decisions on S&T-laden issues at the national security level. This will significantly enhance the nation's ability to develop strategies and policies on issues with important scientific and technical content.

OIA-0236908RichardsonFunding提供给波托马克政策研究所，以进行一项研究，以定义和记录S＆T趋势及其对国家安全的影响及其对国家安全的影响。为了解决目标，将解决以下问题： - 哪些S＆T趋势最有可能产生有益于国家安全的产品？ - 哪些S＆T趋势可能对我们的社会构成危险？ - 重要的趋势如何发展，哪些指标将为新的和重要的能力或威胁提出什么指标？ - 谁将成为必要的能力和威胁最有可能的生产国？ 在该项目的进行期间，将至少检查六个S＆T区域：高级材料；纳米技术;生命科学；社会，行为和经济科学；活力;和信息技术。这项研究的结果将涉及一项更大的研究（在多机构赞助下），旨在提出改善在国家安全水平上对标准普尔问题的决策的科学和技术信息质量的方法。 这将大大增强国家在重要科学和技术内容的问题上制定战略和政策的能力。
