<div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51); font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">The selected individual will develop qualitative and/or quantitative metrics to assess the impacts of PI-CASC’s research portfolio in supporting science-based and
equivalent knowledge-based decision making for climate change adaptive management of natural and cultural resources. The selected individual will apply those sets of metrics; synthesize the impact-assessment findings; and identify gaps, challenges, and opportunities
to increase breadth and depth of </span>PI-CASC’s<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51); font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> climate science adaptation impacts.</span><br>

The individual will actively engage with the practitioners who originally partnered with PI-CASC supported PIs to determine the impact of the co-produced research products on their management decision-making. Through this and other research methods, the candidate
will identify factors important to successful adoption of co-produced science outcomes.</p>

The selected individual will identify additional potential beneficiaries from the research products and conduct interviews or a similar assessment to determine best means of and or outstanding challenges preventing technology transfer to these individuals or
organizations. In particular, PI-CASC hopes to broaden the impact of our work via engagement with indigenous, native Hawaiian, and other marginalized or traditionally under-represented community groups and locations across the Pacific Islands region. There
may be opportunities for the participant to develop, conduct, and synthesize research and traditional ecological knowledge with and for these groups and locations to increase the impact of PI-CASC supported science and equivalent knowledge on management decisions
enabling wildlife, ecosystems, and people to adapt to a changing climate. Given time and capacity, the individual may have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers, managers, and community members to actuate those changes to increase the impacts of
previous and ongoing projects in science- and equivalent knowledge-based decision-making.</p>
