The codebook was designed to, among other things, investigate stakeholder groups' (i.e., students, parents, teachers, school administration, and the research team) participation, process of decision making, agency, and structural aspects of the school and research team (such as policies and procedures); these are the codes drawn upon in this paper.
A range of barriers prevented efficient and effective knowledge exchange among scientists and decision-makers including cultural differences among the groups, institutional barriers within decision-making agencies, scientific outputs that were not translated for decision-makers and poor alignment between research design and actual knowledge needs.
From this research emerged a novel model for benchmarking DSSs that (1) promotes continuity and synergy within and between government agencies, (2) accommodates scientific, operational and architectural dynamics, and (3) facilitates transfer of knowledge among research, management, and decision-making agencies.
Decision-making agencies have been well positioned for leverage on the rapid advancement of different PRO models, the application of the item response theory and computer adapted test in developing PROs, and on the acceptance of such technology by patients and health professionals over the last decade.
A If it's an impact study, that's really being done for the decision-making agency, and it becomes their document.

[ 31] While we did not explicitly study decision-making as part of this study, including not having information on women's decision-making agency before and after becoming a widow, our results suggest that women found the initial period of having to assume all major household decisions to be stressful due to the competing demands that they faced.
Despite the increasing resources devoted to toxicity testing of drugs and chemicals in terms of animals, time, and expertise, the pace of regulatory decision making by agencies such as the U.S. EPA is best described as glacial.
Characteristics of the educational research experience, such as control over decision making, personal agency, and amount of responsibility, are likely to be reflected in the degree to which a student experiences and develops project ownership.
