Engaging the Social Sciences to LTER Network-Level Science & Synthesis Athens, GA August 3-5, 2005 Workshop sponsored by NSF-SBE and attended by social scientists and others (anthropology, economics, geography, political science, rural sociology, sociology) from 23 of the 26 LTERs

Workshop Goals: Addressing the Coupled Human-Natural Ecosystem Challenge To make recommendations for how sophisticated social science concepts and approaches can help fulfill the goal of moving LTER science to a higher level of research collaboration, synthesis, and integration. To provide a concrete set of recommendations and associated costs to Tom Baerwald (SBE) and Henry Gholz (DEB) for advancing the social sciences in the LTER network with long-term support.

Present State of Social Sciences in LTER (based on 19 LTER survey responses) 51 social scientists in several disciplines currently participate in LTERs across the Network Maximum number at a single site = 20 Eight sites have none Typical ratio of biophysical-to-social science ratio = 20:1 Research at 11 sites has produced core social science datasets (but biophysical scientists use them at only 3 sites) Social scientists play a significant role at 3 sites

Significant Barriers to Mobilizing Social Science Capacity in the Network Funding: only nominal, short-term, ad hoc funding available Lack of incentives (disincentives) to participate in interdisciplinary research Non-specialists carry out social science research Social sciences not institutionalized in the LTER program

Participants Identified Collaborative Foundations for LTER Social Science Fundamental cross-cutting research questions 25 core social science datasets that should be constructed for LTER sites Measures and indices that draw upon the conceptual sophistication of the social sciences Methodologies and procedures to ensure comparability of practice and results

Incubating Success through Integration of SS across LTER Sites (NSF $$$) Establish and maintain a threaded listserv (LTER Network) Create a digital archive of information and data that can be queried (Network $300k) Sponsor a thematic social science meeting (Luquillo LTER $65k) Establish long-term funding for interdisciplinary science ($300k per year per site)
