Book excerpt: The Government decided to consider and issue, by the end of December 2009, a set of principles applying to the treatment of independent scientific advice provided to Government. This followed the Home Secretary's dismissal of Professor David Nutt as chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, and the concerns raised by senior scientists about treatment of scientific advice and advisers. The Committee endorses and recommends some changes to the statement of principles issued in November 2009 by Lord Rees, President of the Royal Society, and others concerning: (1) academic freedom; (2) independence of operation; (3) proper consideration of advice. The Committee welcomes the commitment of Lord Drayson, the Minister for Science and Innovation, to resolve the concerns. Any principles that emerge from the review must become part of the Code of practice for scientific advisory committees and the Guidelines on scientific analysis in policy making.

Book Synopsis Scientific Advice, Risk and Evidence Based Policy Making by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Science and Technology Committee
Download or read book Scientific Advice, Risk and Evidence Based Policy Making written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Science and Technology Committee and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the Committee's findings on the operation of the scientific advisory system as a whole. It builds on the case studies covered in three previous reports on MRI safety, the illegal drugs classification, and ID card technologies. The Committee recommends that the role of Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA) be split from that of Head of the Office of Science and Innovation, to enable full attention to be given to the GCSA's cross-departmental functions. The GCSA would be better placed in a department, such as the Cabinet Office, which has cross-departmental responsibilities. The establishment of departmental CSAs is welcomed, but more needs to be done to ensure they maximize their contribution to strategic decision making and policy development within departments. The report also recommends the establishment of a Government Scientific Service to enhance scientific support in the civil service, and calls for greater involvement of learned societies and professional bodies in the advisory system. The Committee wants greater public investment in research to underpin evidence-based policy making, with the establishment of a cross-departmental fund to commission independent research. The short-term nature of the political cycle should be counterbalanced by embedding horizon scanning into the policy-making process. Transparency in policy making has improved, but more could be done. Valuable work on risk should be continued, and responsible coverage of risk by the media should be encouraged by greater involvement of departmental CSAs and greater clarity and consistency in public communication.

Book Synopsis Fostering Integrity in Research by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Fostering Integrity in Research written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integrity of knowledge that emerges from research is based on individual and collective adherence to core values of objectivity, honesty, openness, fairness, accountability, and stewardship. Integrity in science means that the organizations in which research is conducted encourage those involved to exemplify these values in every step of the research process. Understanding the dynamics that support â€" or distort â€" practices that uphold the integrity of research by all participants ensures that the research enterprise advances knowledge. The 1992 report Responsible Science: Ensuring the Integrity of the Research Process evaluated issues related to scientific responsibility and the conduct of research. It provided a valuable service in describing and analyzing a very complicated set of issues, and has served as a crucial basis for thinking about research integrity for more than two decades. However, as experience has accumulated with various forms of research misconduct, detrimental research practices, and other forms of misconduct, as subsequent empirical research has revealed more about the nature of scientific misconduct, and because technological and social changes have altered the environment in which science is conducted, it is clear that the framework established more than two decades ago needs to be updated. Responsible Science served as a valuable benchmark to set the context for this most recent analysis and to help guide the committee's thought process. Fostering Integrity in Research identifies best practices in research and recommends practical options for discouraging and addressing research misconduct and detrimental research practices.

Book Synopsis Scientific advice and evidence in emergencies by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee
Download or read book Scientific advice and evidence in emergencies written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the Science and Technology Committee examines how scientific advice and evidence is used in national emergencies, when the Government and scientific advisory system are put under great pressure to deal with atypical situations. The inquiry focused on four case studies: (i) the 2009-10 H1N1 influenza pandemic (swine flu); (ii) the April 2010 volcanic ash disruption; (iii) space weather; and (iv) cyber attacks. While science is used effectively to aid responses to emergencies, the detachment of the Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA) from the National Risk Assessment (NRA) - the key process of risk evaluation carried out by the Cabinet Office - is a serious concern. The Committee recommends that the NRA should not be signed off until the GCSA is satisfied that all risks requiring scientific input and judgements have been properly considered. A new independent scientific advisory committee should be set up to advise the Cabinet on risk assessment and review the NRA. The Icelandic volcanic eruption in April 2010 is a stark example of the lack of scientific input in risk assessment: the risk of disruption to aviation caused by a natural disaster was dropped from the assessment process in 2009, despite warnings from earth scientists. There are concerns over how risk was communicated to the public during the 2009-10 swine flu pandemic are raised in the report, with sensationalised media reporting about the projected deaths from swine flu. The Scientific Advisory Groups in Emergencies, set up to advise government during emergencies, were found to work in an unnecessarily secretive way.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoengineering describes activities specifically and deliberately designed to effect a change in the global climate with the aim of minimising or reversing anthropogenic climate change. The Committee gives three reasons why they believe regulation is needed. First, in the future some geoengineering techniques may allow a single country to unilaterally affect the climate. Second, some geoengineering testing is already underway. Third, we may need geoengineering in the event of a failure to reduce greenhouse gases we are faced with highly disruptive climate change. The Committee does not call for an international treaty but for the groundwork for regulatory arrangements to begin. The UN is the route by which, eventually, they envisage the regulatory framework operating but first the UK and other governments need to push geoengineering up the international agenda and get processes moving

This book was released on 2014 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The risks and benefits of participating in screening programmes, for conditions and diseases like cancer, are not consistently communicated by either the NHS or private health care providers, the Science and Technology Committee has warned in a new report. It is calling on the Government to ensure that a standardised process to produce screening information is introduced and that better communications training is provided to health care professionals. A recently revised breast cancer screening leaflet for the 50-70 age group - with its more explicit focus on helping women make an 'informed choice' about whether screening is right for them - marks a step in the right direction. However, the inquiry found that the principles followed to revise this leaflet have not been applied to the communications developed by other NHS screening programmes. The Committee recommends that steps are immediately taken by the Government's advisor on screening, the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC), to devise and implement a standard process for producing information that facilitates informed choice. It also recommends a clarification of what 'informed choice' means for potential screening participants so that different screening programmes can be more effectively evaluated on their delivery of it. MPs are also calling on the Office for National Statistics to validate the statistics presented in NHS screening information to resolve disagreement and confusion over their accuracy.
