Related Scientific Activities (RSA) : the other half of the federal S&T story / G. Bruce Doern.: En83-12/31E-PDF
"The purpose of this paper is to examine and the nature and role of Related Scientific Activities (RSA) in federal S&T policy through case studies of four federal science-based agencies or units, two in Health Canada and two in Environment Canada. The four case study agencies are the New Substances Branch and the Water Survey of Canada (both in Environment Canada) and the Veterinary Drugs Directorate and the Consumer and Clinical Radiation Protection Bureau (both in Health Canada). The analysis is set in the context of larger federal discussions on S&T policy, innovation and the role of government S&T, as well as science-based regulation and smart regulation. The paper explores the meaning of RSA as a crucial but often not well understood element of the government's role in science and technology"--Introduction, page 1.
