The Division's research needs do lend themselves to the development of research papers by graduate students or, perhaps, bright undergraduates doing a senior thesis. Please list general topic areas for your agency's planned training over the next two years beginning with fiscal year 2000. See additional comments in Question 12 9. Please list and describe briefly the training activities for agency personnel that your agency plans to conduct or sponsor over the next two years beginning with fiscal year 2000. No Response 10.
Many agencies have additional training needs that are beyond their current capacity.
Please list any of your agency's additional training needs about which you would like others to know. For ongoing training to maintain staff's technical and more general capabilities, the training would consist of short courses on analytical techniques and computer software. At this time, the Division's budget does not permit consideration of a consulting contract through which others might undertake the appropriate training efforts on a comprehensive scale. Please provide any additional comments regarding your future research and training needs. I would anticipate that the latter would follow the former in short order.
