The role of schools of public affairs and universities in meeting needs of public science agencies is discussed in this report. Following the purposes and methodology of this study, emphasis is placed on the manpower needs in science agencies of Federal, State, and local governments; university resources for science policy and administration; and combining resources to meet needs. Recommendations suggest that: (1) Well-trained personnel and effective management of Federal programs are vital to achieve the purposes of the public agencies. (2) The National Science Foundation (NSF) should be asked to consider the use of existing programs or the establishment of a new mechanism to strengthen university resources to help provide well-trained manpower and to conduct relevant research to improve the effectiveness of Federal, State, and local science agencies. (3) The director of the NSF should be requested to bring this need before appropriate Federal agencies so that they may be asked to use existing programs as appropriate. (4) The National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration Committee on Science Policy and Administration jointly with the Council of State Governments should develop a specific grant proposal for a program designed to meet the needs outlined in this report and to submit this proposal to the NSF and other appropriate Federal agencies.
