Abstract:
This presentation highlights key findings from the 2015 National Research Council report The Space Science Decadal Surveys: Lessons Learned and Best Practices. The authoring committee reviewed the history of space science decadal surveys including the most recent decadal surveys and midterm assessments in Earth science, heliophysics, astrophysics, and planetary science. Lessons learned and best practices were identified to guide future survey participants through several key aspects of the decadal survey process including development of the statement of task, survey organization and execution, report preparation, survey implementation, and stewardship.
