| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | RESEARCH PERC'S REPUTATION WAS BUILT ON ACADEMIC RESEARCH, AND THIS REMAINS OUR CORE COMPETENCY. WE TREAT ACADEMIC RESEARCH AS THE FIRST STAGE IN A MULTI-STAGE PROCESS TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE CONSERVATION POLICIES AND STRENGTHEN CONSERVATION PRACTICES. PURELY ACADEMIC RESEARCH THAT HAS LITTLE PRACTICAL RELEVANCE IS BEST LEFT TO UNIVERSITIES. WE USE OUR RESEARCH WORKSHOPS AND FELLOWSHIPS TO INFLUENCE THOUGHT LEADERS AND POLICY MAKERS, AND ALSO TO DEVELOP NEW APPLICATIONS OF FREE MARKET ENVIRONMENTALISM. CONFERENCES AND COLLOQUIA: PERC HOSTED 12 MULTI-DAY CONFERENCES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE IDEAS AND PUBLICATIONS THESE WORKSHOPS GENERATED (OR WILL GENERATE) INFUSE THE ACADEMIC AND POLICY DEBATES WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE MARKET ENVIRONMENTALISM. THE WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON TOPICS SUCH AS INNOVATIONS IN PUBLIC LANDS MANAGEMENT, WILDFIRE, INNOVATION AND DECENTRALIZATION IN ENERGY MARKETS, THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT, AND THE SUCCESSES AND FAILURES OF CONSERVATION MARKETS. FELLOWSHIPS: PERC'S IN-HOUSE RESEARCH INITIATIVES ARE AUGMENTED BY VISITING SCHOLARS FROM UNIVERSITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. IN 2016, WE HOSTED FOUR GRADUATE FELLOWS, FIVE JULIAN SIMONS FELLOWS, 16 LONE MOUNTAIN FELLOWS, AND SIX IMPACT FELLOWS. FELLOWS INCLUDED BOTH RETURNING LEADERS IN THEIR FIELDS, WHO HAVE BROUGHT QUALITY WORK TO PERC IN THE PAST, AND NEW PARTICIPANTS TO PERC, EXPANDING ON OUR RELATIONSHIPS, TOPICS, AND UNIVERSITY AFFILIATIONS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | OUTREACH AND PUBLICATIONS THE OBJECTIVE OF PERC'S OUTREACH TEAM IS TO DISSEMINATE TO A BROADER AUDIENCE THE IDEAS GENERATED BY OUR SENIOR FELLOWS, RESEARCH FELLOWS, VISITING SCHOLARS, AND ENVIROPRENEURS. PUBLICATIONS: PERC'S PUBLICATIONS GENERATED SIGNIFICANT INTEREST AND ATTENTION FROM MAJOR OUTLETS SUCH AS THE NEW YORK TIMES, NPR, AND E&E NEWS IN 2016. THIS RESULTED IN INVITATIONS TO PRESENT BEFORE KEY AUDIENCES, AND HELPED US DEVELOP A STRONGER VOICE IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY DEBATES. PUBLICATIONS IN 2016 INCLUDED: "MANAGING CONFLICTS OVER WESTERN RANGELANDS" BY SHAWN REGAN, PERC POLICY SERIES (JANUARY 2016). "BREAKING THE BACKLOG: 7 IDEAS TO ADDRESS THE NATIONAL PARK DEFERRED MAINTENANCE PROBLEM" BY HOLLY FRETWELL, LEONARD GILROY, SHAWN REGAN, AND REED WATSON, PERC PUBLIC LANDS REPORT (MARCH 2016). "5 MYTHS ABOUT THE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND" BY ROBERT H. NELSON, SHAWN REGAN, AND REED WATSON, PERC POLICY BRIEF (APRIL 2016). "ACCESS DIVIDED: STATE AND FEDERAL RECREATION MANAGEMENT IN THE WEST" BY HANNAH DOWNEY, HOLLY FRETWELL, AND SHAWN REGAN, PERC PUBLIC LANDS REPORT (APRIL 2016). "ECOSYSTEM SERVICES: WHAT ARE THE PUBLIC POLICY IMPLICATIONS?" BY R. DAVID SIMPSON, PERC POLICY SERIES (JUNE 2016). "ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY IN THE ANTHROPOCENE," PERC REPORTS (SUMMER 2016). "UNLOCKING THE WEALTH OF INDIAN NATIONS, EDITED BY TERRY L. ANDERSON, LEXINGTON PRESS (2016). "CLEARING THE SMOKE FROM WILDFIRE POLICY: AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE" BY DEAN LUECK AND JONATHAN YODER, PERC POLICY SERIES (JULY 2016). "TAPPING WATER MARKETS IN CALIFORNIA: SIX POLICY REFORMS" BY REED WATSON (SEPTEMBER 2016). ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY IN THE ANTHROPOCENE (BOOK) BY SHAWN REGAN, JAMES HUFFMAN, JONATHAN ADLER, ET. AL, (OCTOBER 2016) TAPPING WATER MARKETS IN CALIFORNIA: SIX POLICY REFORMS BY REED WATSON (OCTOBER 2016) PERC REPORTS-MARKET ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE (WINTER 2016) ARTICLES AND OP-EDS: PERC'S OUTREACH EFFORTS ARE NOT CONFINED TO IN-HOUSE PUBLICATIONS. PERC GROWS ITS AUDIENCE BY PUBLISHING ARTICLES AND OP-EDS IN POPULAR MEDIA OUTLETS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. PERC CONTINUES TO REGULARLY PLACE OP-EDS IN OUTLETS SUCH AS THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, NEW YORK TIMES, THE HILL, AND OUTSIDE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C | APPLIED PROGRAMS THE PRIMARY VALUE OF APPLIED PROGRAMS IS TO EXPOSE POLICY MAKERS, CONSERVATION GROUPS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENTREPRENEURS TO PERC'S IDEAS SO THAT THEY CAN PUT THOSE IDEAS INTO PRACTICE. APPLICATIONS OF FME ARE USEFUL IN OUR RESEARCH AND OUTREACH PRODUCTS, AS SUCCESS STORIES BUILD ENTHUSIASM FOR PERC'S IDEAS AMONG CONSERVATIONISTS AND DONORS. ENVIRONMENTAL HACKATHON: INSPIRED BY MULTI-DAY COLLABORATIVE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING EVENTS, THIS INTENSIVE PILOT WORKSHOP ENGAGED SUCCESSFUL ENVIROPRENEURS TO DEVELOP MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS TO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. PARTNERSHIPS WITH STATE-BASED GROUPS: IN 2016, PERC PARTNERED WITH A VARIETY OF STATE-BASED GROUPS TO SPREAD OUR RESEARCH AND IDEAS TO NEW AUDIENCES. A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE WAS THE CREATION OF THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC LAND STEWARDSHIP. THIS NEW CENTER, WHICH IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PERC, THE TEXAS A&M INSTITUTE OF RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCES, THE SAMUEL ROBERTS NOBLE FOUNDATION, AND THE EAST FOUNDATION, IS DESIGNED TO FILL CRITICAL RESEARCH NEEDS AND FURTHER A VISION OF PRIVATE LAND STEWARDSHIP. |
