The Advisory Council serves as the principal
interface to the regional stakeholder community of the NGI. It has broad
representation from the entities listed in the organizational chart, and
meets regularly to identify and prioritize research and educational needs in
the Northern Gulf region. The Advisory Council will also provide input on
the current research and education/outreach programs of the NGI. The
Advisory Council provides a bi-annual report to the NGI Director and
Executive Council on its findings and recommendations.
NGI will support the formation and efforts of workgroups around each of the
major themes of the NGI. The responsibility of these workgroups will be to
develop research approaches that focus on the integration philosophy of the
NGI in all aspects of the programs developed. These workgroups may hold
workshops and meetings to foster a collaborative atmosphere across
institutions, and will be used to generate innovative approaches to research
and education by bringing together the often disparate viewpoints of the
various disciplines involved.
