Strategic Plans
OAR is in the final stages of updating its Strategic Plan, which will better align our planning activities with the Goals and Objectives outlines in NOAA's Next Generation Strategic Plan. The new strategic plan will guide our future research and resource decisions to foster an innovative and integrated research enterprise dedicated to advancing our understanding of the oceans and atmosphere. We will post the final document on this page when complete.
In addition, the NOAA Research Council is working to develop the next NOAA 5-Year Research and Development Plan for FY13-17. As with the OAR Strategic Plan, this 5-Year Plan will be closely tied to NOAA's Strategic Plan, describing how we will integrate our Research and Development activities across each of NOAA's Line Offices in support of NOAA's service and stewardship mission. You can provide input and follow the development of this plan on the NOAA Research Council website.
