Liasons should simply review the existing resources and summarize what they find, then get agency feedback on their summaries and determine what still needs answering .
Looking at these summaries, we can isolate specific differences between agency trends.
What can we learn from the Review Process itself?
Plan for including AAS demographic information
AAS will prepare a summary of their demographics information over last decade and send to us.
number of members (junior and full) and their fields
We need to gather that information also from APS, AGU, which others?
AAS will help to make up a survey on the impact of reduced success rate on researchers
We draft first set of questions
James L. and Todd will collect and relay to AAS Public Policy Committee for review and edit
Have AIP do a professional survey based on these questions. $$$ requires a good case to be made.
Schedule next meeting
N.B. The next AAAC meeting is Wed-Thurs, January 28, 2015 in DC
