NOAA 5 -Year Research Plan Activities Since July 2004 q External partner comments and additional internal comments reviewed q Revisions made to provide a stronger linkage between the NOAA 5 -year Research Plan and the NOAA Strategic Plan q A new draft made available for public comment from August 20 to September 30 (announced via a Federal Register Notice) q Public and internal NOAA comments being reviewed and summarized 3

NOAA 5 -Year Research Plan Summary of Major Comments from the Public Comment Period q Not enough attention to research partnerships q More details needed about integrating stakeholder input throughout the research planning process q More emphasis on IOOS q Include research to improve measurements from observing systems 4

NOAA 5 -Year Research Plan Next Steps q Complete revisions and develop final draft q Release final version of the 5 -year Research Plan to the public q Conduct Town Hall meetings to discuss the 5 -year Research Plan with the external research community (e. g. AMS, AGU, ASLO) q Revise 5 -year Research Plan on an annual basis 5

NOAA 20 -Year Research Vision Activities Since July 2004 q External partner comments and additional internal comments received, reviewed, and summarized; revisions made to draft q A new draft made available for public comment from August 20 to September 30 (announced via a Federal Register Notice) q Public and internal NOAA comments reviewed and summarized q Specific revisions currently being considered 6

NOAA 20 -Year Research Vision Summary of Major Comments q Importance of research is not emphasized enough q Document is not visionary enough q Specific research topics of interest to the commenter may not be mentioned or emphasized enough 7

NOAA 20 -Year Research Vision Changes Under Consideration q Add a discussion around the paradigm “describeunderstand-predict” to emphasize the dependence of NOAA on research for all aspects of its mission q Add a section on external influences on NOAA to emphasize the increase in extent and urgency of demand for NOAA products and services by 2025 q Add a section on technical opportunities to provide insight on how NOAA is going to make major advances in the next 20 years q Combine and expand the discussion of NOAA’s partners and education 8

NOAA 20 -Year Research Vision Next Steps q Make changes and develop final draft q Release final version of the 20 -year Research Vision to the public q Conduct Town Hall meetings to discuss the 20 -year Research Vision with the external research community (e. g. AMS, AGU, ASLO) q Periodically update the 20 -year Research Vision 9
