National Partners Dialogue Report, November 2011

Report on the National Partners Dialogue:  A Multi-Stakeholder Consultation on the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and DOI Climate Science Centers.

USGS convened the National Partners Dialogue in partnership with the Ecological Society of America (ESA), the Wildlife Society (TWS), and the Meridian Institute to receive feedback and suggestions on its implementation and progress thus far. The structure of the NCCWSC is intended to ensure that the enterprise focuses on the right scientific questions in the right places, and delivers the answers in an effective and efficient manner. The National Partners Dialogue provided a key opportunity for partners to give feedback and suggestions to the Center on realizing these important goals at this key early phase in its development. This report outlines the feedback and suggestions that emerged from the National Partners Dialogue in nine thematic categories.
