A key preliminary data source for this reporting period was a recent survey of some federal decision makers (via in-person interviews) conducted on behalf of the NRTEE in May-June 2007 ("the NRTEE survey").2 Although not referring specifically to the 2006-2007 period, preliminary findings are included in this DPR to assist in reporting on the agency’s performance.
Over the course of 2007-2008, the Round Table will give due consideration to these findings, their context, and their potential implications for future NRTEE plans and activities.
Other data sources were as follows:
- Feedback provided by participants after NRTEE consultation sessions (by completion of a questionnaire); and
- Operational data related to the research programs, communications, and overall management of the NRTEE.
