Supporting SFS Research

SFS Centers have developed five-year research plans to help identify, address and resolve critical local environmental problems- providing information to assist local, regional and national agencies in resource management decision-making. The purpose of these research plans is to:

  • provide an excellent academic and research learning experience for students;
  • fulfill SFS research requirements and collaborate with other academic and scientific institutions;
  • respond to the resource conservation and management needs of the local community.

The Plans include a clearly defined body of work, which can be summarized as a problem statement, an overall research question, and the methods or means by which the research question will be addressed over a five-year period. Plans also include a timeline of specific Directed Research projects and supporting academic activities, which form the basis for the academic and community/extension program content.

The SFS plan development has been assisted by locally formed Research Advisory Committees, which include representatives from government, research and academic institutions, non-profits and local land owners and other stakeholders.
