Brief description

This project will identify knowledge gaps that are critical to addressing the Hub’s research priorities and which align with the research needs of other research users across northern Australia.

Using a highly collaborative process involving researchers and research users from the Department of the Environment, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and key collaborators from northern Australia, research needs will be identified based on desktop reviews and through regional meetings and workshops. The collaborative approach is designed to foster a higher level of research adoption into policy and on ground action.

Research Outputs

• Synthesis reports on the state of knowledge for key issues affecting northern Australian environmental resources.

• A set of collaborative research project proposals for inclusion in Research Plan Version 2.

Notes In addition to the NESP funding, this project is matched by an equivalent amount of in-kind support and co-investment from project partners and collaborators.
