Oct. 28

Research management experts from various federal science agencies are gathering Oct. 28 and 29 in Washington to discuss approaches for identifying research priorities, exploring research performance management and assessing the impact of completed research.

The goal is to develop a collaborative framework ensuring future research and development dollars are spent wisely and in a coordinated manner, according to the EPA.

The workshop -- co-sponsored by the EPA, the Agriculture Department and George Washington University -- will bring together federal agencies, industry and academia to identify efficiencies and management strategies applicable to other research and development agencies.

Information about the workshop is available at www.epa.gov/ord/researchbestpracticesworkshop.
