Welcome to the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Research Inventory


The Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Research Inventory is an interactive, Internet-based, searchable database created as a tool to collect and disseminate up-to-date information about research projects in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Region. The Research Inventory allows Great Lakes researchers to identify similar studies, network, share experiences and increase efficiency. It enables managers to examine the impact of research, the interrelationships between research disciplines, the adequacy of research related to government agreements and to link research to policy questions.

Patterns of Government Funding for Nonindigenous Species (NIS) Research in the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence Basin from 2000-2005 have recently been examined by researchers from the University of Windsor and the Council of Great Lakes Research Managers. The analysis is based on two sets of descriptive NIS study categories which included one set based on cost centres and another set based on taxonomy. Distinct research patterns and funding fluctuations over a five year time period were revealed and reported in a paper that was recently submitted to IAGRL for possible publication in the Journal of Great Lakes Research. Results will be released after the paper has undergone peer review and is finalized. A total of 68 agencies provided information utilized in this analysis and their cooperation is most sincerely appreciated. For further information concerning this project or about other uses of Research Inventory data, please contact us.
