There is a dissemination problem in biodiversity management at the interface between scientific research and policy/practice. This project brings together existing networks of scientists and decision-makers with the key aim of developing and implementing a model for knowledge transfer in biodiversity management through an evidence-based framework following a protocol modified from that established in the field of health care research and practice. The collaboration of UKPopNet (Universities of Aberdeen, East Anglia, Leeds, Sheffield, York and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology) and the Centre for Evidence-Based Conservation (University of Birmingham) will undertake systematic reviews and disseminate research evidence to support decision-making using an established medical model. The work requires a trained team of individuals to systematically search for and access relevant information using an explicit and repeatable review protocol so as to avoid bias, interpret the findings and present them on an open-access web site in a format suitable for decision-makers. Organisations representing decision-makers (English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage, Countryside Council for Wales, Royal Society for the protection of Birds and The National Trust) will then assess the information produced and feedback information on its utility. The output represents a critical step forward in knowledge transfer in push-delivering systematic unbiased reviews of evidence to decision-makers to underpin biodiversity policy and practice. To date decision-makers rely heavily on their own experience, i.e. decision-making is largely experience-based rather than evidence-based. Decision-makers want to and do use evidence when available, but what they gather is not systematic, but incomplete and often biased This framework offers a systematic, transparent and unbiased method of appraising the evidence. The approach has other significant benefits; the evidence-based framework is also a formal method for identifying gaps in evidence and therefore prioritising research. It therefore encourages a two-way flow of information between the research and user communities encouraging a move toward more needs-led research. The total cost of the 3-year programme is £478K. The project is directly relevant to NERCs aim of ensuring NERC science contributes advance to the effectiveness of public services and policy and the quality of life.

生物多样性管理在科学研究和政策/实践之间存在传播问题。该项目汇集了现有的科学家和决策者网络，其主要目标是通过一个循证框架，按照一项根据卫生保健研究和实践领域所建立的协议修改的协议，开发和实施生物多样性管理方面的知识转移模式。UKPopNet（阿伯丁大学、东安格利亚大学、利兹大学、谢菲尔德大学、约克大学和生态与水文中心）和循证保护中心（伯明翰大学）的合作将进行系统审查，并传播研究证据，以支持使用既定医学模型的决策。这项工作需要一个训练有素的个人团队，使用明确和可重复的审查方案系统地搜索和获取相关信息，以避免偏见，解释调查结果并以适合决策者的格式将其呈现在开放获取的网站上。代表决策者的组织（英格兰自然、苏格兰自然遗产、威尔士乡村委员会、皇家鸟类保护协会和国民信托）随后将评估所产生的信息，并就其效用反馈信息。该成果代表了推动知识转移的关键一步——向决策者提供系统、公正的证据审查，以支持生物多样性政策和实践。迄今为止，决策者严重依赖自己的经验，即决策主要基于经验，而不是基于证据。决策者希望并确实在有证据时使用证据，但他们收集的证据并不系统，而且不完整，而且往往有偏见。该框架提供了一种系统、透明和公正的评估证据的方法。这种方法还有其他显著的好处；以证据为基础的框架也是一种确定证据差距从而确定研究优先次序的正式方法。因此，它鼓励研究和用户社区之间的双向信息流动，鼓励朝着更多以需求为导向的研究方向发展。这个为期3年的项目的总成本为47.8万英镑。该项目与NERC的目标直接相关，即确保NERC的科学有助于提高公共服务和政策的有效性以及生活质量。
