The ATPS network functions through National Chapters in 23 countries. The National Chapters operate under National Coordinators who provide intellectual and administrative leadership at country level. The National Chapters receive funding from the Secretariat out of grants from various donors to perform the following tasks:
identify national science and technology policy research priorities
design national research programmes based on identified priorities
solicit research proposals to implement the programmes
screen and recommend to the secretariat proposals for funding
monitor and report on the implementation of national research activities funded by or through ATPS
disseminate results of national research and seek to influence national policy processes
raise financial resources for the development and implementation of national activities of the chapter
Each National Chapter has a strategic plan that outlines priority areas of research in their various countries. These identified priority areas guide the research efforts of ATPS.
