Wednesday, October 16, 2019. 3:30PM. Webinar: Conceptualizing and Designing Collaborative Science Projects. Jen West, Narragansett Bay NERR; Alison Watts, University of New Hampshire; Nikki Dix, Guana Tolomato Matanzas NERR; Julia Wondolleck, NERRS Science Collaborative. Sponsored by NERRS Science Collaborative. More information here. 

Planning can be particularly challenging for collaborative research projects that fully integrate researchers and intended users of the research, in part because diverse collaborators and distinct project elements need to be tightly aligned to meet targeted user needs. 

This webinar will feature three panelists that have helped shape collaborative science projects addressing a range of coastal management issues. The panel discussion will explore lessons learned through trial and error, including how research questions and management needs were matched, how partners were identified, and different methods for enabling an efficient and effective collaborative process involving natural resource managers and researchers.
