Science to Action: Transformative partnerships to advance decision-relevant science

Session ID#: 80991

Session Description:
Scientists, decision makers, and communities have accelerated their engagement and collaboration to produce decision-relevant and actionable science. Knowledge brokers and boundary organizations play significant roles in strengthening partnerships and amplifying diverse voices. Together, we continue progress toward science that is actionable and equitable.

In this session, we explore (1) how scientists build and strengthen partnerships within and outside the research community, and (2) how these novel and truly collaborative partnerships lead to decision-relevant tools, resources, or knowledge. We invite on-the-ground stories and experiences, successes and challenges, and best practices that illustrate both increased collaborative capacity and the successful co-production of actionable science including federal, state, local, university, and extension partners, to name a few. Through this collective sharing, we can harness characteristics of effective and transformative partnerships to better understand community needs and deliver stakeholder-driven and decision-relevant science.
