| Description: |
Nine projects included in this review were also part of the 2018 Research Progress
Review, and the Council's recommendations regarding sharing information and
reporting on research is reiterated here as a programmatic issue to carry forward for
these nine projects. As explained as part of the 2018 Research Progress Review, to advance the region's understanding of critical uncertainties, research projects have an obligation to share their findings in a manner that can best inform regional efforts and the Council's Program Strategies and measures. This is particularly true for research projects with broad applicability.
The Council continues to emphasize the need to improve the tracking of research to understand gaps and assess progress in resolving critical uncertainties, and, therefore, carries forward and incorporates in this review, the recommendations from the 2018 Research Progress Review, with minor edits to the recommendations for clarity. |
| Recommendation: |
1. Sponsors will submit a draft annual project report to Bonneville in January, using Bonneville's research reporting template, and, by March of each year Bonneville will make the final report available on Cbfish.org.
2. Bonneville will provide the Council annual reports each year around May, following the reporting steps outlined in the 2017 Research Plan's section B. The Council will then consider opportunities for presentations either as part of an evaluation or for information sharing.
3. The Council will consider the results of critical uncertainties research at a programmatic level to determine what progress is being made. To this end, the Council will, as necessary, sponsor forums, workshops, or conferences for review and synthesis of topics; request ISAB synthesis for certain topics; or request syntheses from project researchers.
4. Bonneville with work with sponsors to support sponsor participation in key regional scientific conferences and workshops, particularly for research projects that have broad application.
5. Sponsors will provide to the Stream Net Library an updated list of the full bibliographic citation of their peer-reviewed scientific publications and "grey" literature that summarizes their results such as technical reports, consultants' reports, and agency documents. In this list, the sponsors will identify the Council's 2017 Research Plan critical uncertainties being addressed by each of their publications. This updated list will be provided annually to StreamNet Library along with electronic copies of "grey" literature documents. The Library
should organize the information by critical uncertainties topic in its Digital Collections, and by other means the Library determines as appropriate.
6. Bonneville [and others] will identify, organize and track all research within Bonneville's project database. When projects include both research and monitoring and evaluation elements, the research components should be tracked... |
