Partners and Cooperators

Why We Partner

Partnerships are an import element of the Pacific Southwest Research Station's (PSW's) success in its mission to "develop and communicate science needed to sustain forest ecosystems and their benefits to society" in California and the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands. These partnerships include scientific collaboration, sharing our laboratories and facilities, and funding 'requests for proposals' on high-priority topics. We also engage stakeholders through on-going dialogue and user's groups.

More than 110 different organizations work in collaboration with PSW scientists through formal grants or agreements. Partners include a diversity of institutions of higher learning, nonprofit organizations, and State, county, or local governments. PSW's commitment to collaborative research and the building of quality relationships among its diverse partners and within the community of science has fostered the delivery of numerous applied science products to the communities we serve in California, Hawaii, and the other U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands.
