Abstract
What is the relationship between social research and government policy—particularly when research projects are competing for scarce funds? Should such research be prescriptive, aiming at solving short-term social problems, or can it only remain (and should simply remain) descriptive and analytical? This article confronts these problems in the light of the UK's experiences in funding social science research, and describes the current position a decade after the Rothschild Report and 16 years after the Heyworth Report.
