A
Statement of Task
This study will address issues essential for the effective design and
implementation of cooperative and collaborative research programs. Coop-
erative research programs are currently being administered by the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to foster the participation of fishermen
in the collection of scientific information used in fisheries management.
The committee's report will identify design elements necessary for achiev-
ing programmatic goals with scientific validity, including (1) identification
of data needs; (2) setting of research priorities; (3) identification of poten-
tial participants; (4) matching of research needs with fishing expertise and
access to appropriate vessel and gear; and (5) methods for communicating
the findings from this research to the communities involved in or affected
by fisheries management.
In addition, the report will address issues essential for the effective
implementation of the program such as (1) the maintenance of scientific
validity; (2) criteria for awarding and distributing research funds; (3) pro-
cedures for evaluating, ranking, and funding research proposals; and (4)
ownership and confidentiality of data collected with funds from the coop-
erative research program. As part of this study, the committee will examine
the implementation of existing cooperative research programs.
