520 _aThis article reports on a survey of Canadian scholars of public administration that asked about the influence their academic research has had on the practice of public administration and some characteristics of their research. The scholars identified a wide range of publications as having influenced practitioners by having been read and discussed or by influencing policy, legislation or judicial decisions. Three-quarters of the respondents had public-sector experience early in their careers. The average age at which they did influential research was in their mid-forties. They received research support for these projects from a wide range of sources, but the amounts were relatively modest. The article concludes with the implications of these findings for the design of a possible federal government program to enhance support for the Canadian academic community in public administration. - Reproduced.
