Initial Planning for Implementation

Initial planning for implementation of research results begins with the development of the research Problem Statement by:
  • identifying the problem to be addressed,
  • identifying the stakeholders impacted by the problem,
  • defining the objectives of the research,
  • identifying the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for implementing the expected results and products of the research project, and
  • defining the products desired as outcomes of the research project, including the format for delivery of the products.
