The Research Advisory Group (RAG) meets annually and plays an important role in the annual research planning process. A wide range of stakeholders attend these meetings and input into reviewing research outputs to date, identifying research gaps and the submission and refinement of research proposals.
From this process a CSP annual plan is developed and released for public consultation. This covers all research to be conducted by CSP in the coming year.
This provides guidance for the DOC’s administration of the Conservation Services Programme (CSP).
