Appendix A: Amplifying Questions

To facilitate meeting discussions at the host organizations, the team developed a list of detailed questions that were submitted to the organizations visited before the team's arrival. The questions are organized by the four primary themes of the team's interest. Note: as the scan team prepared its report and implementation items, it determined that the phrase "setting the research agenda" was more effectively worded as "establishing or developing the research framework." The amplifying questions reflect the former wording, while the report and implementation discussion use the more recent wording.

1. Setting the Research Agenda—Practices used to determine where to put the emphasis and effort to solve current problems and emerging issues on local, national or federal, and international levels

2. Partnerships and Joint Research Activities— Methods of cooperation that are an effective means to enhance technical capacity and increase fiscal and other resources required for research

3. Conduct of Research: Performance, Quality, and Value—Tools and processes used to measure the performance, quality, and value of research programs and projects

4. Delivery: Getting Research Results into Widespread Practice—Keys to enhancing the effectiveness of deployment and increasing the use of research results
