GETTING RESEARCH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE : THE CHALLENGE
Avoiding the valley of death – the virtual chasm that separates
applied research from making a difference Figure out what matters most, making sure the right people
are involved
Identify and analyse the possibilities, making sure the right people are involved (maybe different from first time)
Convert ideas into action, making sure the right people are
involved (maybe different from second time)

NATIONAL NATURAL HAZARDS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENDA
A national natural hazards emergency management agenda, consisting of succinct, high value problem statements across a spectrum of topics supporting natural hazards disaster resilience.
Broader than the CRC research program and our ability to fund necessary research, it • Informs the 2017-2021 CRC research
program. • Will act as a guide to Australian
research sector on high value areas of national strategic importance.
