NERC/DEFRA Joint Water Evidence Group Evidence Review Fellow

该项目将使政策安置研究员能够在核心联合水证据小组内工作，以进一步发展其证据审查方法。成立联合水证据小组是为了加强环境、林业和农村事务部网络在土地和水问题上的合作，以确保最佳利用资源，并采用创新方法收集证据。该项目将努力完善环境要求方法和实践指南，纳入最终用户和利益攸关方的反馈和评论，从而提高对科学政策接口的理解。该研究员还将与水领域的政策制定者和实践者以及其他利益攸关方合作，确定他们的目标和证据需求，以便提出环境要求回答的问题。该研究员将负责若干环境要求的项目管理，并将确保高标准的交付。通过与自然环境研究理事会和其他研究理事会的接触，研究员将确保新的和最新的研究充分纳入环境要求，促进知识交流。该项目还将确保以适当的形式与广泛的利益攸关方进行有效和及时的沟通，以最大限度地扩大该项目对决策者、企业和从业人员的惠益。

The project will enable a Policy Placement Fellow to work within the core Joint Water Evidence Group to further the development of their Evidence Review (ER) methodology. The Joint Water Evidence Group was established to enhance collaborative working on land and water issues across the Defra network to ensure the best use of resources and embrace innovative approaches to gathering evidence. Evidence Reviews search for, review and summarise the evidence available in response to a given question in order to communicate findings to end-users, making better use of existing research and ensuring that research has real impact The project will work to refine the guidance for ER methodology and practice, incorporating feedback and comments from end users and stakeholders, thereby improving the understanding of the science-policy interface. The Fellow will also work with policy and practice makers and other stakeholders in the water area to identify their objectives and evidence needs in order to develop the questions to be answered by ERs. The Fellow will be responsible for the project management of a number of ERs and will ensure a high standard of delivery. Through engagement with the Natural Environment Research Council and other Research Councils the Fellow will ensure that new and up to date research is fully incorporated into ERs, facilitating knowledge exchange. The project will also ensure effective and timely communication, in the appropriate format, to a wide range of stakeholders in order to maximise the benefits of the project to policy makers, businesses and practitioners.
