What is a Research Agenda?
What is it Not?
History Inventory Wish List
Science Strategy ≠ Research Agenda
• Science Strategy = how best to obtain and use scientific information.
• Perhaps effects a long-term change in corporate culture and institutional re-alignments.
• Research Agenda = what scientific information to obtain.
• Perhaps effects a short-term shift in operational priorities and direction.
Why a Research Agenda? A Sampling
• “to coordinate research effort”• “to harness research effort to most
effectively improve…”• “to provide a framework for future
investments in research”• “to better align with granting
opportunities”• “to enable and guide research by
external organizations”• “to direct collaborative research
ventures”
Articulate, Coordinate, Enable
Comparisons Among Agendas
• Department of Fisheries and Oceans (2007-2012)
• American Dental Association (2012-2013)
• World Health Organization (various, no date)
• European Forest-based Sector (2014-2020)
Comparisons Among Agendas
Similarities• STRATEGIC• Outcome-oriented• Short-term (2 to 6 years)• Drafted by experts• Mission statement• Identification of drivers• Identify 3-5 primary
goals & objectives• High-level• Disclaimers
Differences• Scope / Thematic• Audience• Length (2 to >50 pages)• Prioritized• Research and action
plans to follow
The research agenda will attempt to:
•Outline over-arching and cross-cutting corporate priorities;
•Harmonize operational and government information needs;
•Balance emerging and ongoing research goals; and
•Balance territorial and national or international research interests.
YG Research Agenda
• Identify key corporate research priorities, including gaps;
• Direct, enhance, align and foster research in these key priorities; and
• Inform external research and funding agencies of key YG research priorities.
