Estimated time required to comoplete the project: | 60-80 hours in total. This project may be split among more than one applicant, depending on workload. |
Purpose/Background: | Currently, there is no single source that lists, for each country, the name of the regulatory agency and where relevant regulations can be found. This project involves creating such a guide. It is anticipated that this guide will be useful to IAIA’s membership and will help create value for our organization. |
Description of tasks: | The member and supervisor will work together to: a) decide on what country-level information will be useful to collect (e.g., the name of the national-level agency that is in charge of EIA legislation, contact info and a link to the agency’s website, and a link to the EIA regulations themselves); b) develop a framework for housing data collected (e.g., Excel spreadsheet); and c) identify information sources. The member will then undertake research to collect the data and populate the compendium. Finally, we will work on formatting the compendium attractively to create a useful final product for members. |
Skills required by applicant: | High skill level with Microsoft Word and Excel; Reliable access to a computer and the internet; High degree of skill in searching for information online; Strong attention to detail; Familiarity with languages other than English would be an asset; Experience of having used/reviewed EIA regulations in at least one country would be helpful. |
Hard deadlines: | <p>Would like to get this completed before March 31.</p> |
