Preparing for the Future Through Science and Technology:  An Agenda for 

Environmental and Natural Resource Research is a progress report on an 

interagency plan that focuses the federal R & D funds on the enhanced 

emphasis in the research and budget planning cycles of the CENR federal 

agencies with environment and natural resources research:



Ecosystem Research - to promote the efficient use of natural resources 

while sustaining ecosystem integrity for future generations.

Observations and Data Management - to ensure that the necessary 

measurements are made efficiently and that the data are widely available 

to all stakeholders in easily usable forms.



Socioeconomic Dimensions of Environmental Change - to understand the 

underlying human influences on the environment and the potential 

responses of society to change.



Environmental Technology - to protect the environment while stimulating 

economic growth and capturing emerging global markets.

Science Policy Tools - to improve integrated assessment and risk models 

so policymakers can make informed decisions on complex environmental and 

societal issues.
