项目摘要

ROLE OF THE PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT TEAM (PMT): The PMT will coordinate Programme-level activities and facilitate communication, collaboration and integration among the consortia. Specifically, the PMT will be responsible for:- Monitoring research progress- Budget monitoring - Facilitating communication, collaboration and integration among the consortia- Facilitating data management for the Programme- Planning impact and knowledge exchange activities- Logistics supportKey Programme management activities are described below.PROGRAMME COORDINATION AND DATA MANAGEMENT: To assist the PMT in fulfilling their responsibilities, the PMT will appoint a Programme Coordinator to help them in research and budget monitoring, report writing, and managing communication across the Programme (e.g. organising annual meetings, website development and maintenance, etc.). The HMTF Programme will also appoint a Programme Data Manager who will: (1) Assist in development of data nomenclature, archiving and metadata protocols; (2) Ensure well documented data collection and data encoding; (3) Support importing of new data into the existing databases; (4) Facilitate compatibility of data between the various databases, including suggesting modifications of existing databases and nomenclature; (5) Ensure and develop comprehensive metadata and data set descriptions through frequent liaison with all investigators; (6) Report to the PMT and NERC, on data management needs and progress. The outline Data Management Plan for the HMTF Programme is presented in Appendix B. PROGRAMME COMMUNICATION: Communication within consortia, among consortia and with external actors will be facilitated by the development of a HMTF Programme website, with separate portals for each of the consortia. Among-consortia communication will be further facilitated by a meetings budget that includes funds for bringing Brazilian and Malaysian partners together with the UK-based researchers. IMPACT AND KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE: The PMT will also coordinate the impact and knowledge exchangee activities of the three consortia. Specifically, the PMT will: (1) provide KE support during the initial stage of fieldwork, when projects are establishing field sites and liaising with multiple stakeholders including private landholders and reserve managers; and (2) support the dissemination of results, in particular providing detailed feedback to key stakeholders, including landholders, relevant industries, and local and national government departments. Programme funds will support these activities in Malaysia and Brazil through non-academic Knowledge Exchange officers who will be tasked with preparing dissemination materials and meeting with stakeholders. These will be hired on short-term contracts, providing the PMT with crucial KE support when and where it is most needed. Delivery of the impact plans put forward by the individual consortia will be devolved to the KE officers who will lead a unified, cross-consortia approach to delivering impact. LOGISTICS SUPPORT: The HMTF Programme will provide funds for logistics in Malaysia and Brazil. Malaysian funds have been allocated to support SAFE/SEARRP and the costs of the NERC-ARSF. For Brazil, funds will be allocated to support transport costs, offsetting unforeseen budget reductions by FAPESP in this area.

项目管理团队 (PMT) 的作用：PMT 将协调项目层面的活动并促进联盟之间的沟通、协作和整合。具体而言，PMT 将负责： - 监测研究进展 - 预算监测 - 促进联盟之间的沟通、协作和整合 - 促进计划的数据管理 - 规划影响和知识交流活动 - 后勤支持主要计划管理活动如下所述。项目协调和数据管理：为了协助 PMT 履行职责，PMT 将任命一名项目协调员来帮助他们进行研究和预算监控、报告撰写以及管理整个项目的沟通（例如组织年会、网站开发和维护等）。 HMTF 计划还将任命一名计划数据经理，他将： (1) 协助开发数据命名法、归档和元数据协议； (2) 确保数据收集和数据编码有据可查； (3) 支持将新数据导入现有数据库； (4) 促进不同数据库之间数据的兼容性，包括建议对现有数据库和术语进行修改； (5) 通过与所有调查人员的频繁联络，确保和开发全面的元数据和数据集描述； (6) 向PMT和NERC报告数据管理需求和进展。 HMTF 计划的数据管理计划概要载于附录 B。计划沟通： HMTF 计划网站的开发将促进联盟内部、联盟之间以及与外部参与者的沟通，每个联盟都有单独的门户。会议预算将进一步促进联盟之间的沟通，其中包括将巴西和马来西亚合作伙伴与英国研究人员聚集在一起的资金。影响和知识交流：PMT 还将协调三个联盟的影响和知识交流活动。具体来说，PMT 将： (1) 在实地工作的初始阶段，当项目建立实地地点并与包括私人土地所有者和保护区管理者在内的多个利益相关者联络时，提供知识交流支持； (2) 支持成果的传播，特别是向主要利益相关者提供详细的反馈，包括土地所有者、相关行业以及地方和国家政府部门。计划资金将通过非学术知识交流官员支持马来西亚和巴西的这些活动，这些官员的任务是准备传播材料并与利益相关者会面。这些人员将以短期合同形式聘用，在最需要的时间和地点为 PMT 提供关键的 KE 支持。各个联盟提出的影响计划的交付将移交给 KE 官员，他们将领导统一的跨联盟方法来提供影响。物流支持：HMTF 计划将为马来西亚和巴西的物流提供资金。马来西亚的资金已分配用于支持 SAFE/SEARRP 和 NERC-ARSF 的费用。对于巴西，资金将用于支持运输成本，抵消 FAPESP 在该领域意外的预算削减。
