Instructions for completing this survey
We need your response! Your involvement in completing the survey will enable us to collect the data we need to learn about how research is used in the sector.
The survey is divided into sections:
Section 1: Strategies your agency has in place to benefit from research
Section 2: Learning in your agency and industry
Section 3: Uptake of AFAC/Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC research utilisation strategies
Section 4: Indicators of research utilisation maturity
Section 5: Potential barriers to research utilisation
Section 6: Demographics
Your response by 24th September 2020 would be appreciated - the survey should take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
When completing the survey, please provide responses that reflect your awareness or knowledge. Conducting your own research to find the ‘right answer’ is not needed as we are intentionally trying to uncover various connections between the research outputs from the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC (BNHCRC) and their use within your organisation.
