"With scientists complaining that legislators ignore the science and policy-makers grumbling about scientists' failure to answer their questions, the two groups could do with talking to each other more, scientists from the University of East Anglia decided.
In an attempt to bridge the science-policy communication gap, a team led by UEA's Professor Bill Sutherland asked hundreds of organisations involved in policy making, from government institutions to NGOs, to choose the questions they considered priority."
I think the title is a little misleading, but the article provides a link to the online version of the full length paper "The identification of 100 ecological questions of high policy relevance in the UK" published in the Journal of Applied Ecology. Some very interesting insights into coordinating science and policy.
