HCST --- Higher Council for Science and Technology (HCST) in Jordan is the example of the independent model of Boundary Spanner. I worked there for more than 4 years and I can confidently say this is their mandate. They recently initiated a scientific advisory unit. I wonder how can this unit take a position within the government while feeding from the work of HCST. Thinking of way to become integrated by bringing in more politicians or parliamentarians to advocate their outputs. otherwise, it will stay at this level.
