Development of the ComFRAB 2004-2009 Research Plan

Funded Activity Summary

A new ComFRAB Strategic Research Plan is required to guide research investment in Commonwealth fisheries.

The revised ComFRAB 5-year plan will include the AFMA strategic research plan and seek to provide a coordinated approach to research in Commonwealth fisheries. The two functions will be clearly distinguished in the document, but are complimentary and indicate areas of innovative research and industry development opportunities that will support the future management and development of Commonwealth fisheries.

The ComFRAB Strategic Research Plan will provide research providers and users a clear statement of what is expected from research and the principles that the ARC/ComFRAB will apply in prioritising and supporting research projects. These principles will guide the process of planning and undertaking research.

The development of a set of strategic research areas will enable the ARC/ComFRAB to take a more pro-active position when calling for and evaluating research projects to meet the needs of Commonwealth fisheries.

Objectives:
1. Develop a plan to provide guidance to the ARC/ComFRAB in planning and undertaking research related duties.
2. Clearly articulate a processes for identifying research priorities and commissioning research to ensure transparency in procedures, priorities and budgets
3. Outline key criteria for assessing research projects
