Improving the Balance Between Ocean Infrastructure and Ocean Research in the U.S.
Abstract
The Ocean Research Advisory Panel (ORAP) was tasked by the National Ocean Council (NOC)to review and report on recommendations for balancing ocean science infrastructure with ocean research support across the Federal government under an assumption of no new funding. Ocean science research and ocean science infrastructure in the United States is now a complex, multidisciplinary, global, and sustained enterprise embedded in a rapidly developing international context. It is clear to ORAP that ocean research and ocean research infrastructure priorities must be considered together. Without question, however, the need does exist for systematic processes to guide the balance between ocean research and ocean infrastructure investments in a constrained funding environment.
