WASHINGTON (NCER) - On
March 21 - 22, 2002, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sponsored the Decision
Making and Valuation for Environmental Policy (DMVEP) Workshop in
Washington, DC. The workshop attracted over 65 participants from
the private sector, state and federal governments, nonprofit organizations,
academia and Environment Canada. The audience heard and discussed
research results from 17 researchers who were funded by EPA's Science
to Achieve Results (STAR) program and NSF's Decision, Risk and Management
Science Program competitions from 1997 through 2000. The workshop's
three sessions focused on:
1) community environmental
decision-making;
2) environmental decision-making for optimal land use; and
3) economic data informing environmental policy.
At each session, grant recipients
presented and discussed their research results, followed by a discussion
on the session's presentations. For additional information on the DMVEP
