ESIP 2014 Winter Meeting Decisions Workshop & Breakout Session
Half-Day Evaluation Workshop Building on the successful full day workshop in January 2013, these two half-day sessions will help the attendees understand the concepts underlying proposal formation and evaluation. Evaluation Discussion Roundtable Building on newly acquired knowledge by Evaluation Workshop participants and others, this session will be a facilitated roundtable designed to share attendees' experiences in project, program and organizational evaluation. Speakers are invited to contribute their Evaluation stories using the following format: Slides 1-3 - Program/Project Description Including What Was Being Assessed Slides 4-6 - Evaluation Approach/Methodology Used (can be more than 1 approach/methodology) Slides 6-9 - Results & Impact of Evaluation The Evaluation stories do not have to be the result of a formal evaluation, rather, they can be informally generated analyses. The results of this session will be captured and shared in the ESIP Commons for the community to consult. To share your project's evaluation story, please email it to aprados at umbc dot edu.

About the Cluster
Earth Science data and research can play an important role in informing decision making activities and applications in the commercial and public sectors. One of the main priorities of the Decisions cluster is to support ESIP member evaluation activities and assessments concerning the value of Earth Science data.
The Cluster also addresses topics such as:
- The value of scientific models in predicting future states and scenarios, such as the IPCC
- the economic value of Earth science data in decision settings;
- data requirements for environmental decisions-making
- decision making under deep environmental uncertainty;
- collaborative environments for assessing scenarios and consequences of decisions involving multiple stakeholders;
- case studies in environmental decision-making;
- integrated physical-economic models;
- perceptions of long-term climatic uncertainty;
- tools, services, models, and associated standards for data-driven decision support.
