The Institute for Natural Resources, Oregon
In 2001, the Oregon Legislature established the Institute for Natural Resources (INR) to help link the knowledge and expertise of Oregon's universities to natural resource decision making. We are headquartered at Oregon State University and have offices at Portland State University.
Our mission is to provide access to integrated knowledge and information to inform natural resource decision-making and develop solutions in the context of sustainability. We help decision-makers identify and use relevant science in making natural resource policy and management decisions.
Our efforts focus on areas where university-agency interactions and engagement can help address issues, solve problems, and inform decisions. Our strength is to provide coordination and synthesis on topics that are multi-agency and multi-disciplinary in nature.
Some key areas where we work:
Biodiversity and Conservation
Information Access and Science Synthesis
Landscape Assessment and Mapping
Water
