PRISM Organizational Overview PRISM UIF Review February 26, 2001 Karen Schmitt, College of Ocean & Fishery Sciences

Why UIF for PRISM Organization? • Significant Organizational Issues for Interdisciplinary Environmental Science at UW – Highly Interdepartmental – Six Colleges & Deans • Decentralized Resources – Centers, Libraries, Office of Research (FHL) • Regional Need for UW Contributions – ESA – Water Resources – Urban Growth

PRISM Approach • Distributed Organization – No Permanent Faculty or Staff Positions – Not a Center or Department – Opportunistically Leverage Existing UW Resources • Self-Directed Work Teams (Working Groups) – Highly Interdepartmental, Coordinate via Steering Committee – Involve Participants from Outside UW • Use Technology to Facilitate: – – Collaboration & Education Model Integration Data Base Integration Information Distribution & Outreach • Engage in Regional Issues Where/When Appropriate
