|a Do theories that describe how science works accurately characterize programs that aim to contribute to societal benefit? How can the research performed by federal mission agencies contribute to improved decision-making? The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Naval Research Laboratory, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology each have goals of performing research that meets the needs of specific user groups. However, a goal statement cannot guarantee effective research without mechanisms connecting science prioritization to user needs. My research involves a critical examination of the processes creating application-oriented science. I report the results of research on decision processes, and of interviews with agency leadership. Research on policies for science prioritization within these agencies includes an assessment of how such federal science programs enhance societal benefit, along with an evaluation of how different characteristics of the programs match up with theoretical descriptions of knowledge production.

|a This analysis examines how factors such as the definition of scientific problems, decision-making structures, quality control mechanisms, distribution of participants, and social accountability guide the production of useful information. To assess the programs, I apply a reconceptualization of the economic terms of supply and demand to describe where supply of science provides information that matches user demand, and where science policies might miss opportunities. This empirical exploration of knowledge production theories fosters both an evaluation of existing models of knowledge production and new information on options for closing gaps between goals and outcomes.
