Conference on Developing Strategies for Strengthening State-Federal Interaction in Research

该项目旨在支持一次会议，以制定和完善战略，以加强各国在支持研究方面提供领导的作用。会议之前将有两个筹备阶段。第一个将是获取和编目各州为制定国家支持水资源研究的新倡议所做工作的背景信息。在第二阶段，将汇编代表候选改进战略的三至五种方法的详细信息。然后，会议将被用来分析这些方法并完善候选战略，以促进国家更多地参与基本研究。

This project is to support a conference to develop and refine strategies for strengthening the role of states in providing leadership in support of research. The conference will be preceded by two preparatory stages. The first will be obtaining and cataloging background information on what has been done in various states to develop new initiatives for state support of water resources research. In the second stage, detailed information will be compiled on three to five approaches representative of candidate strategies for impovement. The conference will then be used to analyze the approaches and refine candidate strategies to facilitate greater state involvement in essential research.
