Survey on Scientific Leadership within the UMRR-EMP
1.
|
At the May 29, 2013 UMRR-EMP Coordinating Committee meeting, Mike Jawson gave a short presentation outlining UMESC’s desire to develop a statement on scientific leadership within the UMRR-EMP. This interest is precipitated by the changes occurring in the UMRR-EMP. UMESC is interested in better management of our LTRMP responsibilities, and providing better and more effective and efficient scientific leadership for UMRR-EMP. We are not interested in change for changes sake. We want to embark on strategic and scientific planning with a shared vision of what science leadership is within UMRR-EMP, to foster communications and minimize misunderstandings.
To these ends, participants in the May 29 UMRR-EMP CC meeting agreed a survey would be a worthwhile undertaking. We would be grateful if you completed these nine questions by Tuesday August 20. Survey invitations are being distributed to the UMRR-EMP CC distribution list, additional UMRR-EMP program partners, and other known UMRR-EMP science product users. Please do not forward your invitation, or the survey's URL address, to anyone else at this time. Thank You.
