This essay argues that principles should play a limited role
in policy-making. It first illustrates the dilemma of timely action in the
face of uncertain unintended consequences. It then introduces the
precautionary and proactionary principles as different alignments of
knowledge and action within the policy-making process. The essay next
considers a cynical and a hopeful reading of the role of these principles in
public policy debates. We argue that the two principles, despite initial
appearances, are not all that different when it comes to formulating public
policy. We also suggest that allowing principles to determine our actions
undermines the sense of autonomy necessary for true action.

This paper explores how peer review mechanisms and processes currently affect team science and how they could be designed to offer better support for team science. This immediately raises the question of how to define teams. While recognizing that this question remains open, this paper addresses the issue of the peer review of team science research in terms of the peer review of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research. Although the paper touches on other uses of peer review, for instance, in promotion and tenure decisions and in program evaluation, the main issue addressed here is the peer review of team science research in the context of the review of grant proposals.
