Research Set-Aside Workshops

Overview

In 2021 and 2022 the Council hosted a series of four workshops that explored the possible redevelopment of the Research Set-Aside program. The goal of these workshops was to develop recommendations regarding whether and how the RSA program should be redeveloped. (See this page for background on the history and current status of the RSA program.)

The first three webinar workshops each targeted a separate topic related to RSA: Research, Funding, and Enforcement. The Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) Economic Working Group worked collaboratively with the Council’s Research Steering Committee (RSC) to provide economic input specific to each topic. During the fourth workshop, participants reviewed the outcomes from the first three webinars and developed final recommendations for RSA program redevelopment.
