Description:

Bridging the gap between research and operations, applications, or stakeholder decision making requires innovation and intentional interaction between scientists and stakeholders. The NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT; https://weather.ndc.nasa.gov/sport/) center was established in 2002 is one example of a user-centric program within NASA that translates NASA Earth Science to products and capabilities to support stakeholder applications. This session solicits presentations focusing on responsive science, user-centered design approaches, or initiatives focused on applications to research feedback. Presentations from researchers, developers, and stakeholders who have bridged the gap between science and applications with a focus on use of NASA missions, capabilities, partnership with SPoRT or other NASA programs are relevant.
Session Proposed by: Emily B. Berndt 

Conveners: Emily B.  Berndt, Tsengdar J. Lee,  Amber E. Emory, and Eric J. Fertzer
