Science & Management - Integration Tools

Listed below are some of the tools that might help facilitate the integration of science and management. Our intent is to provide a starting point for scientists and managers to evaluate whether a given tool might apply to their specific context. For each tool, we have attempted to provide (1) an overview that summarizes the tool and its potential application, (2) a listing of available projects using that tool, (3) some of the key references on the topic and (4) links to additional sources of information about that topic.
