This PDF includes a synthesis of presentations and discussions that took place at the Engaging and Learning for Conservation Workshop on Public Participation in Scientific Research, held at the American Museum of Natural History on April 7 & 8, 2011. In this final set of workshop breakout sessions, participants learn about and discuss how they can become involved in activities beyond this workshop that will carry the field of PPSR forward. Those activities range from building a new association for PPSR, to addressing concerns about data management, to development of evaluation instruments to

This PDF includes a synthesis of presentations and discussions that took place at the Engaging and Learning for Conservation Workshop on Public Participation in Scientific Research, held at the American Museum of Natural History on April 7 & 8, 2011. Working in design studio mode, participants break into small groups to focus on areas of interest and issues of concern that lend themselves to a PPSR approach. In the process of designing potential PPSR projects to address these topics, the goal is to keep conservation at the forefront, to apply and test the steps generated during the previous
