Summary

Investigating the complex natural and cultural resource management challenges we face today requires building diverse, interdisciplinary research teams. Robust stakeholder engagement is also critical for ensuring that publicly funded science answers questions that are relevant to natural and cultural resource management decisions. Early career scientists who learn how to engage with multi-disciplinary research teams and stakeholders in the early stages of their career have a competitive advantage in the workforce and can help develop actionable science that addresses critical management questions. This project built upon the successes of the 2014 Early Career Training to develop and host a week-long professional development training [...]

Purpose

Led by members of the South Central Climate Science Center (SC CSC) consortium, this project will build upon the successes of the 2014 training to develop and implement professional development training for graduate students, post-docs, and early-career researchers within the SC CSC region. The objectives are: (1) introduce a new cohort of early-career researchers to the research challenges of the SC CSC, offering them insight into how their research fits into the broader priorities of the SC CSC and applicability to end user needs; (2) facilitate interdisciplinary interactions to discuss research with peers and foster collaborative opportunities; and (3) generate a syllabus, knowledge tests, and specific curricular materials designed for a formal classroom setting. Curricular materials will include digitally recorded presentations on the SC CSC enterprise, a “how to” guide for conducting similar trainings, and an outline for a real-world case study that illustrates the science-to-policy interface. Our desire is to remove the institutional barriers, or “silos,” at an influential time of development for these early-career professionals and to build a cohort who can continue networking across the SC CSC through their research pathways and who will eventually lead outcome-oriented, interdisciplinary research.

typeTechnical Summary
valueLed by the consortium of the South Central Climate Science Center (SC CSC), this project will build upon the successes of the June 2014 training to develop and implement professional development training for graduate students, post-docs, and early-career researchers within the SC CSC region. The objectives are to: (1) introduce a new cohort of early-career researchers to the goals, structure, and unique research-related challenges of the SC CSC and its place within the U.S. Department of the Interior and the larger CSC network, offering them insight into how their research fits into the broader research priority goals and its eventual applicability to end-user needs across the region; (2) facilitate interdisciplinary interactions between participants within the SC CSC purview in an effort to discuss research with peers and foster collaborative opportunities; and (3) generate a syllabus, knowledge tests, and specific curricular materials designed for a formal classroom setting. Curricular materials will include an additional set of digitally recorded presentations on the SC CSC enterprise to supplement those created during the 2014 training, an updated version of the “how to” guide for conducting similar trainings in other CSCs, and an outline for a real-world case study that illustrates the science-to-policy interface. Trainees will receive certificates upon successful completion of the training session. A major outcome of the training is the development of a cohort of early-career professionals who can continue networking and who can contribute to outcome-oriented, interdisciplinary research. Our desire is to remove the institutional barriers, or “silos,” at an influential time in the development of these professionals so that they do not struggle with as much difficulty as the current generation of researchers with multi-institutional and multi- or inter-disciplinary research.
