NOAA Research OAR Science Reviews Conducted every four years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research and development in OAR labs Assist in strategically positioning the lab for planning future science Intended to ensure that research is preeminent and linked to the NOAA Strategic Plan The Review Panel is asked to evaluate each science area based on specific questions within the Charge to the Review Panel

NOAA Research To conduct environmental research, provide scientific information and research leadership, and transfer research into products and services to help NOAA meet the evolving economic, social, and environmental needs of the Nation.* Vision Mission A society that uses the results of our research as the scientific basis for more productive and harmonious relationships between humans and the environment. * *From OAR Strategic Plan ( )

NOAA Research PPBES Process Purpose: What NOAA… Steps Who in OAR Planning (FY 12-16) Should do Strategic & Annual Planning Climate Programs (3) OAR Labs & Programs Programming (FY 11-15) Can do Program Review & Development Climate Goal OAR HQ Budgeting (FY 10-11) Will do Formulation & Justification NOAA Budget Office OAR Budget Execution (FY 09) Does Program Performance & Financial Management Deputy Under Secretary & NOAA Budget OAR AA & GFDL Director Leads

NOAA Research Research Planning and Priorities Matrix management –Mission Goals and Line Offices External drivers –Legislation, Policy statements, Executive Orders, etc. Internal requirements development –Based on mission –Developed with input from: Line Offices, Councils, Goal Teams, and Regional Collaboration Teams Regional and national stakeholders Non-governmental organizations NOAA Employees

NOAA Research PPBES Goal Teams NOAA Budget DOC/OMB President’s RequestCongress Program Offices (CPO,HPCC,NWS) GFDL funded proposals GFDL NOAA/OAR Budget Office “Other NOAA funds” GFDL base funds Other Agencies (DOE, NASA) The Funding Process:

NOAA Research Drivers for NOAA Research Legislative Drivers National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) National Climate Program Act (NCPA) Global Change Research Act (GCRA) America COMPETES Act Policy Drivers Ocean Action Plan Ocean Research Priorities Plan (ORPP) United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) NOAA 5-Year Research Plan NOAA 20-Year Research Vision

NOAA Research NOAA’s 5 mission goals were derived from stakeholder input and internal assessments of our mandates and mission. For each mission goal, the Strategic Plan lists the relevant: –Performance to date –Programs –Outcomes and Objectives NOAA’s Next Generation Strategic Plan is expected in early 2010 NOAA’s research enterprise develops the understanding required for each goal to achieve its mission and associated outcomes in the Strategic Plan NOAA Strategic Plan: (FY 09-14)

NOAA Research NOAA Strategic Plan: Climate Outcomes A predictive understanding of the global climate system … Use of NOAA’s climate products by climate- sensitive sectors and … the public … Objectives Describe and understand the state of the climate system… Understand and predict climate variability and change … Improve the ability of society to plan for and respond to climate variability and change

NOAA Research NOAA 5-Yr Research Plan (FY 08-12) Emphasizes the integration of the observational, experimental, analytical, and modeling tools that are the core of NOAA’s research –Identifies specific research milestones and objectives to reach our Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives, –Encourages transformational research, and –Based on societal needs Next version is in the works

NOAA Research NOAA 5-Yr Research Plan: Overarching Research Questions What factors influence ecosystem processes and... forecasts [of] their future state? What is the current state of biodiversity in the oceans … [and how do we determine future states]? What are the causes and consequences of climate variability and change? What improvements to … analysis approaches and models will allow lead us to better predict[ions] …? How are uncertainties … best estimated and communicated? How can the … warning times for … high-impact environmental events be increased significantly?
