HIBAR (highly integrative basic and responsive) research is described by Lorne Whitehead, Scott Slovic and Janet Nelson in their blog post at https://i2insights.org/2020/06/30/hibar-research/. It fuses fundamental & applied research in a manner that is both a) integrative & recursive and b) highly collaborative with non-university experts. It is defined by 8 elements: 1) intent to solve problems AND 2) desire for discovery; 3) creative design approaches AND 4) traditional investigation; 5) hands-on practical experts AND 6) fundamental researchers; 7) strong sense of urgency AND 8) long-term objectives.

Hi Science-of-Science friends,
Arizona State University is putting together an amazing new service to help people understand science and opinion, called "SciOPS." Anyone can join on to help them, it is a crowd-sourced effort. Have a look and support them!
From Eric Welch:
I am sending a link to a recent effort – SciOPS. The site was just published last week and includes a survey of scientists on COVID impacts: https://www.sci-ops.org/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.sci-ops.org/__;!!KGKeukY!jGunaaKcJJ…>
Cheers,
Caroline Wagner
Thanks --- it is incredibly important that the community be very outspoken
about vetting mathematical models and making pros and cons of the model
transparent and apparent - especially when models are being used to inform
and in some cases even drive policy. Of course, what is true of maths
models is true of any model. It is unfortunate that too often models are
under-described. There should be a dedicated section of each paper that
details experimental models used in full. Reviewers and the broad research
community should also quickly and clearly call out errors. Appreciate you
highlighting the paper.

Subject: Message: 5 principles to preserve social trust in mathematical
modelling
5 principles to preserve social trust in mathematical modelling are
described by Andrea Salteri and 21 co-authors in Nature
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01812-9. In brief they are 1)
Mind the assumptions, 2) Mind the hubris, 3) Mind the framing, 4) Mind the
consequences, 5) Mind the unknowns. The paper calls for full and frank
disclosure of values; testing for uncertainty and sensitivity; care in
adding complexity and in quantification; and attention to unknowns.

Dear colleagues,
OECD recently published a report "Addressing societal challenges using transdisciplinary research."
https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/science-and-technology/addressing-societal-ch…
<Introduction>
This report looks at how transdisciplinary research, which combines knowledge from different scientific disciplines with that of public and private sector stakeholders and citizens, can be used to address complex societal challenges. This includes developing effective responses in acute crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as longer-term solutions for sustainability development. In a series of 28 case studies, each of which is briefly summarised in the report, it identifies the key obstacles to effectively implementing transdisciplinary research. Many of these are embedded in the way that research systems are structured and managed and they are amenable to policy intervention. Examples of how various actors, including funding agencies and universities are adapting to better accommodate the requirements of transdisciplinary research are included in the report and related policy actions are ascribed for these actors.
I participated in the project as a member of expert group. It was a valuable experience to discuss the lessons learned from 28 cases of transdisiplinary research projects and centers around the world.
