Science to Action: Programmatic Approaches that Enable Connections, and Maybe a Few War Stories

Session ID#: 82133

Session Description:
Multiple organizations, including AGU, support efforts to encourage uses of scientific data and information products to inform and support decision making, management, and policy. Programs in government, non-profits, and foundations incentivize work in this space to encourage innovative applications, foster collaborations, transfer scientific knowledge into practice, and overcome technical and organizational barriers. 

 

The session invites papers addressing programmatic models and approaches that foster and incentivize work to use scientific information in decision-making activities, processes, and operations. Papers are encouraged to include a specific example to illustrate the model in practice, present metrics that indicate its effectiveness, share where the model breaks down and is unsuitable, or provide a programmatic failure of design or implementation. The session includes submissions of programmatic approaches that support co-production as well as the reverse path – where decision-makers identify issues they face and the desired research to advance their management, policy, and actions.
