EPA Research: 2014-2020
• Overall Objectives largely similar..
• To contribute to the protection and improvement
of our natural environment and our health, by
addressing key environmental issues through
targeted research.
• But in a changing landscape…
– Tighter Resources (funding, staff…)
– More emphasis on collaboration
– More focus on outputs

Innovation on STRIVE
1. Greater focus on dissemination (regular updates,
dedicated budget on projects)
2. Greater focus on co-funding (National/ Intl)
3. Networking wrt Forfas initiative and EU funding leverage
4. Establish Science Advisory Board
5. Behavioural changes � Resource efficient economy
6. Inclusion of raw materials research
7. Piloting of citizen-centric innovations
8. Grant Management Admin enhancements (Horizon 2020)
9. Simplified reporting & financial

1 : 3 : 25
• 1 page outline of the main messages that
have come from the research
• 3 page executive summary
• 25 pages to present the findings and
methodology used in a language that is clear
and accessible to the non-research specialist.

1. Written Communications…
�What are the right approaches?
�1: 3 : 25 – suitable?, big projects?
2. Other communications…
• Workshops & seminars?
• Data sharing, Open access?
• Role for social media?
3. Resourcing these activities…
• Proposal: scoring weight?; Funding %?
• During project, post project?
• Ring-fence dissemination budget?
