Reinforcing the Values that Translational Science and Strategic Communication Bring to Progressing Environmental Management and Scientific Research

On this page:

  • Overview
Translational approaches in science, including “collaboration, engagement, communication, process, and decision framing” (Enquist et al. 2017) strongly align with efforts to move environmental management and supporting science forward. Translational science frameworks can be valuable in environmental decision-making contexts because of their emphasis on utilizing a systems approach and maximizing the benefits of engaging stakeholders. Such approaches can incorporate tenets of structured decision making, risk characterization, adaptive management, and principles of conflict resolution into environmental management activities. Further, translational science frameworks reinforce elements of strategic science communication, including the importance of establishing and communicating goals with consistent terminology and providing the ability to co-develop and incorporate stakeholders. This mini-seminar presentation introduces EPA’s Office of Research and Development’s investments in translational science and strategic communication as they can provide value-added insights to environmental management and scientific research.

Impact/Purpose

This presentation to the Aug 26, 2021 Hatfield Marine Science Center's Research Seminar series will introduce the audience to ongoing ORD science advancing translational science and strategic science communication.
