Do you have an idea of how to accelerate scientific progress on socially important problems? If so — and if seed funding for a research project would help — please apply to a new re-granting program Paul Niehaus, Caleb Watney, and I are co-leading.

Technology transfer offices (TTOs) at universities are one of the most underappreciated parts of the US innovation ecosystem. They’re also underexplored and deserve more research. Here’s a short thread with 4 ideas of what I mean (and a request for more!):

***METASCIENCE KLAXON*** In June I promised more about what works when it comes to funding research and innovation. So I'm delighted that today Department for Science, Innovation and Technology are announcing a new metascience unit, to be jointly run with UK Research and Innovation, with £10m of initial funding.

This past year many governments across the OECD have publicly committed to policy experimentation in research & innovation policy... I've written a short blog looking at where we are, how far we've gone, and what's coming. innovationgrowthlab.org/blog/good-year…
