TERMS OF REFERENCE

Preamble

SERG International (SERG-I) is an association of forest management, regulatory and research agencies, and pesticide suppliers, interested in forest pest management. The primary aim of SERG-I is to improve application technology and pest management methods associated with the use of pest control products in the context of integrated forest pest management. SERG-I facilitates efficient use of resources for collaborative research to meet the needs and priorities of pest managers.

SERG-I is not a funding agency. Rather, SERG-I provides a means for the members to work cooperatively on research projects through the sharing of expertise, financial resources, in-kind resources, staff, and the results to achieve common goals in the areas
of spray efficacy and pest management methods.

Through this co-ordinated approach, members of SERG-I are able to pool their resources, leverage other sources of funding, and work cooperatively to conduct research and share results amongst the members.
General Areas of Research that are coordinated by SERG-I.

  1. Forest Pest Management Products::
    Product efficacy - including conventionally applied products as well as the development of alternative products such as viruses, nematodes, pheromones and biological herbicides, etc.
  2. Improvement of Application Technology and Techniquess:
    Application technology - including aerial and ground based application techniques which provide improvements in environmental and efficiency goals.
  3. Environmental Impact and Benefit to Forest Pest Management:
    Fate of applied products in terms of deposit, drift, impact and behaviour in the environment including impacts on biodiversity and ecological processes.
  4. Developing Forest Pest Management Strategies:
    Develop working strategies for the management of forest pests.
  5. Technology and Information Transfer:
    Transferring results of SERG-I supported research to forest managers through annual workshops, the SERG-I web site and stakeholders meetings.

  1. Develop and maintain the SERG-I Long-Term Plan.
  2. Identify and prioritise research, development and technology transfer on an annual basis.
  3. Identify and develop potential partnerships for SERG-I particularly in the areas of pest management, regulation, economic benefit, communications, new technology, and stakeholder needs (e.g. forest industry).
  4. Request and review proposals (Appendix A,B) and funding for project priorities.
  5. Co-ordinate application technology and efficacy research
  6. Promote outreach activities such as workshops, a SERG-I website and distribution of research reports to interchange information amongst SERG-I, researchers, user groups and participating organisations.
  7. Provide advice and recommendations to various organisations which either participate in or have an interest in SERG-I activities.

Each organisation shall have one representative (or its designated alternate) on the Steering Committee. Additional representatives may attend as observers and to provide expertise as needed. Additions can be made to the member organisations of the Steering Committee subject to approval by the majority of the Executive. Additional individuals or organisations may be associated with SERG-I (without becoming Executive (voting) Members or Associate Members of the Steering Committee) by writing to the Executive Director with a request to be included on the SERG-I mailing list. All those included on the mailing list will be notified of the Annual Workshop and will receive the updated SERG-I publication list and the annually updated Long-Term Plan and Research Priorities.

Overhead and Administration Expenses:

Overhead costs for SERG-I, including the fees for the Executive Director, the Executive Director's travel expenses and administrative costs, will be shared equally by the Executive Members of the Steering Committee. The budget for the coming year will be established by the Executive previous to March 31 of the current year.

Disbursement of Surplus Funds:

  1. A majority approval by the SERG-I Executive Committee members (see Note 3 for exception) is required for SERG-I surplus funds to be disbursed.
  2. Any proposal by an Executive Committee member for use of SERG-I funds must be circulated to the Executive Committee and the Executive Director at least two weeks prior to the SERG-I meeting at which it is to be tabled. Members who will not be present at the meeting will have up to one week prior to the meeting to submit their votes to the Executive Director.
  3. Any absentee Executive Committee member who does not submit a vote by the due date, will lose his/her voting right on the proposed motion. Majority approval will then be based on the remaining voting membership. In the event of a tie, the Executive Director may cast the tie-breaking vote.

 

Meetings:

Meetings of the Steering Committee shall be called by the Executive Director, after consultation with the Executive, and shall be held at least twice per year. Special Issue conference calls may be held at the request of an Executive Member.

  1. Each year, $2500 of each Executive Member's annual SERG-I fee will be set aside for that Member to use for SERG-I travel to any Steering Committee meeting including project evaluation meetings. Travel to attend the SERG-I project evaluation meeting (Feb) shall take precedence over attending other meetings.
  2. Each member's travel funds will be carried to a maximum of 2 years to a total of $5,000.00. Any surplus will be transferred to SERG-I general revenues.

 

The agenda for meetings shall be determined by the Executive Director, in consultation with Steering Committee members.

Minutes shall be taken of all meetings and distributed by the Executive Director to all members of the Steering Committeee.

Workshop:

A formal SERG-I Workshop will be held annually. The Annual Workshop will normally be scheduled in early February. Final or interim written reports will be submitted to the Executive Director prior to the Workshop (mid January). An oral presentation delivered in person preferably by the Principal Investigator on the current year's research will be made at the Workshop. Immediately following the Workshop, research proposals for the upcoming year will be evaluated for member's acceptance and support.

The Executive Committee will meet to update the SERG-I Long-Term Plan.

The location of the Workshop will rotate amongst the member provinces/and or agencies (i.e. the Executive). The host province or agency will co-ordinate the Workshop including the provision of secretarial and related services (such as registration desk and temporary custody of registration fees).

APPENDIX "B"

SERG International Proposal Review Procedures

The Executive will review the SERG-I Long-Term plan annually, update it as required, and set research priorities for the following year. Specific priorities, and the level of funding anticipated for each, will be identified whenever possible. The updated Long-Term Plan and Research Priorities will be distributed normally by early October, at the time of the call for SERG-I Concept Proposals. Specific agencies or individuals may be asked to submit proposals for certain projects or an open public call for proposals may be used for other work areas.

Call for Proposals

Concept and final proposals (in the formats detailed in Appendix A) will be accepted up to the date set by the Executive Director in his call letter. The research proponent may be invited at the discretion of the Executive to be available either in person or via telephone when a particular proposal is being reviewed.

Stage I Review

Members of the Steering Committee will review the executive summaries of the Concept Proposals to determine the proposal's compliance with the Long-Term Plan and Research Priorities, and to identify the funding potential for the proposed research. This review will be completed no later than the end of the National Forest Pest Management Forum week (usually first week in December). Only Concept Proposals approved at this stage will receive further consideration at Stage II.

Stage II Review and Funding

The Executive Director may obtain at least two reviews of each Proposal – one from a scientist and one from a user. The final proposals and the reviewers' comments are then provided to the Steering Committee to determine which projects will receive support for funding in the upcoming year.

Conflict of Interest Guidelines

Recognizing that members of the SERG-I Steering Committee may also be participants on SERG-I-supported projects, the following rules will apply:

  1. Said members will declare themselves in conflict when evaluating SERG-I proposals (Stage II – Terms of Reference) of which they are collaborators or which have the same scientific goals as SERG-I proposals/ projects of which they are a collaborator.
  2. Project-team members will be excluded from the Stage II evaluation of their SERG-I project.

 

Rules for SERG-I Stage II Evaluation

  1. Prior to the Stage II evaluation meeting, principal investigators will be notified of the date – time for the SERG-I review.
  2. Principal investigators will avail themselves, either in person or by telephone, for questions that may arise during the Stage II review.
  3. Attendance to the full review meeting will be restricted to the SERG-I Steering Committee, their alternates and invitees.
  4. The Stage II review meeting may also have an open format during which specific questions relating to project proposals will be discussed.

 

SERG-I is not a funding agency with an allotment of money to be awarded through a competitive-process. Rather, SERG-I provides a means for the members to work cooperatively on research projects through the sharing of expertise, financial resources, in-kind resources, staff, and the results to achieve common goals consistent with specified SERG-I General Areas of Research.

At Stage II, the Steering Committee will review the final proposals and the comments of the reviewers in considering the proposals for funding by the members. Each member will decide which specific proposals to support, and what type (e.g., financial, in-kind, coordination, advisory) and amount of support will be provided. Opportunities for cooperation and efficiencies will be explored and encouraged by the Steering Committee.

Proposal Endorsement and Conditions

The Executive Director will inform each proponent in writing of the status of the Proposal (e.g. approved, not approved, approved with conditions, or revise and re-submit). Proposals approved at Stage II will be assigned a Project Number.

SERG-I research projects will be completed according to SERG-I Field Guidelines available on the SERG-I website (www.sergreport.net).

For most projects, SERG-I will arrange for a holdback of at least 10% of funds. This holdback will be released upon receipt and acceptance by the funding agencies of the final or interim report and a presentation preferably by the Principal Investigator at the SERG-I Workshop. Proponents are expected to manage their finances by taking this 10% holdback into consideration. Each year, a project report must be received and accepted by the funding agencies before funding will be granted for subsequent years.

APPENDIX C

Reporting Policy for SERG-I

1. Introduction

SERG International (SERG-I) has an excellent reputation for supporting applied research and technology for use in forest pest management and other related fields. As a service to the technical community, SERG-I maintains on-line access to reports produced through the SERG-I
process and distributes these as PDF files upon request. Typically, SERG-I facilitates some 30 research and development projects annually.

2. SERG International Reporting Requirements

As part of the agreement with a Principal Investigator (PI) who participates in the SERG-I process, a final report (and yearly interim reports in the case of multi-year funding) is required by mid-January of year following acceptance of proposal and an oral presentation at the annual
Workshop. Final acceptance of report submissions is the responsibility of SERG-I funding members.

Final Reports


Copies of final reports will be distributed by the PI in the following manner:

  1. All Executive Committee members and funding agencies will receive one hard copy each (names and addresses of members can be obtained from the Executive Director) bound between SERG-I covers.
  2. The SERG-I Executive Director will receive 2 bound copies and a PDF version. A copy of the report will be filed with CISTI and distributed (PDF version) upon request.

 

Interim Reports

All formats discussed above (with a bilingual abstract) are appropriate for interim reporting. It is suggested further that reporting requirements be discussed in the proposal and upon funding. As a minimum reporting requirement, an interim report will be required every year. Interim reports include

Proprietary Research

Proprietary industrial projects (as opposed to proprietary academic rights in order to protect publication potential) will be handled as a separate entity. In this case, an explicit contract will be entered into between funding members and Principal Investigator and the deliverables will be stated. This is the only case where a final report may not be required based on the specific contract.

3. Acceptance of SERG-I Reports

For most Projects, SERG-I will hold back a minimum 10% of allocated funds. These will be released upon acceptance of reporting requirements. Ultimately, acceptance of all SERG-I reports rests with the funding members. If a majority of the funding members accept a Final Report then the project is considered complete. If there is a dispute or in the unusual case of a deadlock, the SERG-I Executive Director will cast the deciding vote. The balance of project funds will be withheld and released only on report completion unless negotiated beforehand (i.e. in the case of the prospect of a long peer review process, the letter of submission to a journal would release the final balance of funds).

4. Delinquency

It will be the responsibility of the Funding members working with the Executive Director to obtain project reports. Reporting delinquency is a problem and can, in some cases, result in the inability of a funding member to generate additional funds for contribution to SERG International. Principal Investigators who don't fulfil yearly interim or final reporting requirements will not receive further funding from SERG-I until reporting requirements have been completed.

In the event a delinquent report is not 'in the works' (i.e., actively being worked on by data analyses and writing, and has a scheduled reporting date), or is not likely to be prepared as acknowledged by the original PI, then that PI will be obliged to provide the raw data and associated results that were collected, the objectives of the project, and as much detail as possible about the material and methods that were used. This information may be made available to one or more of the original funding members of the project and subsequently made available by them to another researcher duly recognized by them and/or the SERG-I Executive who has interest in further analyses and reporting, though not necessarily to the exclusion of the original PI.
