Research-community Priorities for Wrf-system Development

Part of the charge to the WRF Research Applications Board (RAB) is to “review trends and emerging science and technologies and to identify and prioritize those elements representing the greatest opportunities for advancing the capabilities of the WRF modeling system for use by the research community.” In response to this directive, the RAB has solicited input from the research community and pre...

Research priorities in bronchiectasis.

Taking a network approach, we have identified research priorities in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. We discuss these in the context of increasing recognition of bronchiectasis and increasing mortality rates.

Priorities of ophthalmic research.

The purpose of research is to uncover truths, that is to describe reality validly. But all truths are not equally generalizable, and all research is not equally justifiable. For example, the value of a study that requires an N of 100,000 to reach statistical significance (a presumed truth) is likely to be far less than that of a study requiring only an N of 10. Furthermore, the value of researc...

Astrobiology Research Priorities for the Outer Solar System

Research priorities are critical.

Building on the review by Goldner et al., I argue that the first research tasks for disability management in Canada should be to articulate conceptual models; define promising disability management interventions and characterize the current longitudinal health and labour market trajectories of Canadians disabled by mental conditions. Research should next emphasize pilot studies of novel interve...
