developing a shared understanding of the resource
management decision among the natural resource
managers and researchers comprising the project team;
and maintaining relationships among them. For the
design phase, applicants should propose the specic
activities and steps they will take to: formulate research
questions and determine the methods for addressing
them, identify approaches for developing their research
ndings into products for informing the natural resource
management decision and select strategies and
processes for how the ndings and products will be
transferred to a resource manager or management
body and applied to the natural resource management
decision.
