6.3.7             Supporting Strategy: Research strategy
The on-ground management actions listed in sections 6.3.4, 6.3.5, and 6.3.6 incorporate or identify related monitoring and research actions that inform and measure the impact of on-ground actions. Beyond these, there is much to learn about bilbies, their habitat, and the effects and inter-dependencies of factors that threaten the conservation of the Greater Bilby. Research questions not tied to management actions that may reveal information are general research actions that will support the overall recovery of the Greater Bilby and may inform future action (Table 9).
Research that is planned to be conducted on Indigenous-managed land or affect or involve Indigenous people should be consistent with the principles for ethical research outlined by the Australian Institute of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS, 2012) and embrace an approach reflecting the reciprocity of two-way science (Box 1).
"It is essential that Indigenous people are full participants in research projects that concern them, share an understanding of the aims and methods of the research, and share the results of this work. At every stage, research with and about Indigenous peoples must be founded on a process of meaningful engagement and reciprocity between the researcher and Indigenous people. It should also be recognised that there is no sharp distinction between researchers and Indigenous people. Indigenous people are also researchers, and all participants must be regarded as equal partners in a research engagement."

The recovery team science sub-committee will identify research priorities and will consider the research priorities identified in Cramer et al. (2017).
While not specifically identified as an action, it is important that existing traditional ecological knowledge be considered when implementing this strategy.
