27. USGS Science Impact Program University Collaborations Science Impact draws upon skills that extend the USGS' traditional workforce. Expertise will be required in the decision and social sciences, economics, operations research analysis and statistics, as well as negotiations and collaborative processes. To gain expertise and capacity, the USGS is establishing Science Impact Partnerships with external organizations that have demonstrated capabilities in these areas. Five Science Impact Partnerships : Science Impact Laboratory for Policy and Economics: University of New Mexico Science Impact Laboratory for Urban Systems: University of Pennsylvania Science Impact Center for Visualization and Delivery: Prescott College Indigenous Knowledge Center for Education and Science Impact: Sinte Gleska University MIT - USGS Science Impact Collaborative: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
