Mapping Future Interdisciplinary Linkages for Research Development
Explore the potential for creating new interdisciplinary linkages over the next 5 years to bridge important gaps in various disciplines. Researchers identify key gaps, propose potential linkages, and evaluate progress using metrics like network connectedness. Visual representations and specific examples aid in understanding the concept and application of this research approach.

SEARCH-wide interdisciplinary linkages A: Network of important GAPS in disciplines B: What linkages could be made over the next 5 years? Graphical network representation (free software: Gephi) A: SEARCH researchers report linkages needed based on gaps in knowledge (include supporting products/ papers). Network represents linkages needed, not linkages that already exist. B: Network represents what linkages might be made over the next 5 years. Can be evaluated at a later time to determine progress in achieving linkages. Metrics: Number of nodes, thickness of lines between nodes (indicating number of times link was reported as an important linkage needed), quantitative metrics on overall network connectedness, average distances between nodes *Note, this method does not track NUMBER of new papers/ proposals/ products generated, but that can be reported as a separate metric
Specific product evaluation Supporting local networks and cross-scale linking This is an example from evaluating the ACCAP webinar series Individual/Organization National Participants & speakers Networking Activity NCA (speaker) Link NPS Participant Regional/State Discuss findings from NCA Participants & speakers Intra-agency satellite site ACCAP Alaska LCC NPS NPS Connect tribes & state/federal agencies Native Govts. KBRR Local Non-webinar participants Participants & speakers Share information Consultant (participant) Community (non-participants) Local satellite site Local Participant Local Interviews/ surveys to identify who are using SEARCH products (e.g. evaluation of Sea Ice Prediction Network products) Identify role of SEARCH in providing useful information to local-regional-national stakeholders
