[OBSIPtec] Request for Written Input on Ocean Research Plan [UNOLS]

[Kasey Aderhold]

The Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology (SOST), under the 
National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), is requesting written 
input on the structure and content of its upcoming 10-year ocean 
research plan (tentatively titled “Ocean Research in the Coming 
Decade”). This new Plan will supersede the NSTC’s “Charting the Course 
for Ocean Science in the United States for the Next Decade:  An Ocean 
Research Priorities Plan and Implementation Strategy,” that was 
published in 2007 and updated in 2013.

The Plan will describe the most pressing research questions and most 
promising areas of opportunity within the ocean science and technology 
(S&T) enterprise for the coming decade. It will set the stage for 
actions across Federal agencies and with non-Federal entities to address 
societal needs and issues of national importance.

*A **public input period on the Plan is open now until January 1, 2017.* 
The SOST invites all interested parties to provide input relevant to the 
Nation’s ocean S&T enterprise. Suggestions directed toward how the Plan 
should be structured and specific topic areas that should be considered 
for inclusion in the Plan are particularly encouraged. See the Federal 
Register Notice for additional information on the public input period.
