Bozeman’s research focuses on science and technology policy, public management, organization theory and higher education policy. He is the author or co-author of 17 books including most recently "Public Values Leadership" (Johns Hopkins University, 2021), with Michael Crow.

The latter book won the American Political Science Association’s Herbert Simon Award for best book published in public administration and public affairs. Bozeman’s "All Organizations Are Public" (Jossey-Bass, 1987) helped establish a new research and theory approach to “publicness.” Professor Bozeman’s research articles have appeared in every major U.S. journal in the fields of public policy and public administration and his research has been summarized in several publications, such as Nature, Times of London, Nature Medicine, Science, Chronicle of Higher Education and New York Times, among others.
Bozeman's current research focuses on the credibility and use of scientific information in policy-making; the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on scientific productivity; bureaucratic rules, rule compliance and organizational pathologies; public values in public policy and management; and "robotic bureaucracy."
Bozeman is an elected fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement Science and the National Academy of Public Administration. He co-edits the Journal of Technology Transfer. Awards received include the Charles Levine Memorial Award of the American Society for Public Administration; the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration research award; and the the 2013 Public Management Research Association’s H.
