Science and research underpin DEW ability to conserve natural environments and use natural resources more sustainably. DEW partners with academic institutions to gain the knowledge needed to improve Natural Resource Management (NRM) outcomes in South Australia.
The NRM Research and Innovation Network (NRM RaIN) aims to connect research providers with research users in either policy formation or on-ground management and to increase the usability of research by promoting and supporting collaboration between research institutions and NRM staff. This funding is to be used to support the NRM Research and Innovation Honours Scholarship program at the University of South Australia. This initiative will improve both the promotion and integration of practical NRM outcomes into academic research programs and assist graduating students in developing the skills that are most in demand across the SA Government Environment Portfolio.
In order to achieve this goal of promotion and integration, this funding will be provided to the University of South Australia to support selected Honours students, as determined by the Program Director, with a stipend. Support of $2500 will be awarded to four Honours students who are undertaking a project with applied outcomes to natural resource management in SA DEW will provide direction to the scope of the research, and if feasible, additional in-kind support including, but not limited to, vehicle access, data access and field assistance.
The key output from this support will be a brief paper (4-5 pages) highlighting the implications of each supported honours thesis to natural resource management. The paper will include management recommendations that aim to benefit DEW, or SA Water (SAW), and will be submitted to DEW at the same time as thesis submission.
