COUNCIL OF FELLOWS

Role of Council

   The Council of Fellows is composed of senior scientific/technical representatives from each NGI member academic institution, as well as the NOAA NGI Science Advisor, and the NOAA CI Program Manager. The Council is chaired by the NGI Director, and the vice chair is the USM representative. The Council of Fellows is responsible for development of the IP and its biannual review by the Advisory Council. It will conduct an Annual Program Assessment and Report to NOAA, and oversees the Annual NGI Work Plan. It will receive overarching guidance from the Executive Council, and will build the Annual Work Plan based on needs assessments and recommendations from the Advisory Council. This group will also be responsible for ensuring that the highest quality research is conducted, both through stringent project review prior to implementation and through monitoring progress of these projects once initiated.
