**SCOPE**
Science and technology policy is one of the public policies that promotes appropriate funding to advance scientific and technological research and education, studies the impact of science and technology upon its citizenry, and prescribes regulation, if necessary.  Those involved in a nation’s science and technology policy analyze and often provide in-depth studies to determine the plans, programs and policies of the government and their effects on domestic and international affairs.  Since many political issues have a scientific component, most developed countries have specific agencies, ministries, or offices that deal with science and technology policy.

 This *Tracer Bullet*lists relevant sources of information on how science and technology policy is formulated, as well as its effects on the development and application of scientific and technological knowledge on a nation’s growth, economy, and well-being.  In addition to the United States, this compilation includes references to the science and technology policies of other nations and groups of nations.  Not intended as a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader “on target.”
