Abstract
In his analysis of federal agency learning agendas, Tsai notes that these plans may address some key issues such as trauma and Veteran needs but place limited emphasis on other key emerging topics. Some topics may be covered in other agency documents such as strategic plans. However, his analysis highlights the need for further collaboration in developing learning agendas and strategic plans and other planning documents. As well, it is important to obtain stakeholder and public input in developing these plans and to identify with specificity implementation details and roles and responsibilities of key federal and other partners.
