Examine each step of the co-production process when you visit our new Co-Production Examples and Tools web page!
The Science Program is working to build a community of researchers, resource managers, and other resource users to support the sustainability of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. To support applied ecosystem science and incentivize these communities to work together, the program invests in co-production.
Co-production is the collaboration of researchers, resource managers, and other resource users across the four steps of a research project that will inform a specific natural resource management decision. Those four steps are 1) scoping, 2) design, 3) research and development, and 4) transfer and application of findings and products.
Our new web page includes project examples, videos from project teams, tools for each step of the co-production process, and our new co-production monitoring toolkit. Our hope is that this page will help communicate and clarify the steps to planning and implementing a co-produced research project.
