Title: Space Weather Advisory Group User Needs Survey: Preliminary Results from the Research Sector

In the fall of 2023, SWAG with support from the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI), convened focus groups of researchers from around the US for the purpose of obtaining feedback on their use of space weather information and how space weather information services can be improved.

Participants engaged in moderated discussion of a set of questions designed by SWAG to gauge the level of familiarity with current space weather observations, information and services; how they are used to reduce risk and promote resilience to space weather; and what new or improved products and services would support enhanced resilience of the power grid to space weather.

This talk will provide preliminary results of the SWAG Research Sector Survey and discuss follow-on activities and next steps for SWAG and the space weather community.
