Subject: Comment Sought on draft NOAA Five Year Research and
         Development (R&D) Plan from May 3-June 3 2013

NWS is seeking comments on its draft NOAA Five Year Research and
Development (R&D) Plan from May 3-June 3, 2013. R&D at NOAA
increases our understanding of the world and produce
applications that improve how the agency fulfills its mission of
science, service, and stewardship. NOAA seeks an understanding
of the global ocean-atmosphere system and the ecosystems it
supports to inform decision-making aimed at building a more
sustainable society. Such a broad portfolio creates many
challenges but also opportunities for R&D at NOAA.  For a
mission-based agency, strategic, directed, and use-inspired
research is key to meeting NOAA's mission to serve society.

produced by NOAA and the first to explicitly include development
as part of the research enterprise.  It also includes ways to
define success, evaluate progress, and transition research
outcomes to applications.  In addition to publicly documenting
the course of NOAA's R&D, the plan will:

-Guide the internal management of R&D projects by providing a
basis for planning, tracking, and evaluating results
-Promote collaboration with partners in and outside the federal
government to further serve society through NOAA's R&D
enterprise

Led by the NOAA Research Council, the draft NOAA Five Year R&D
Plan has been developed across the agency as a whole and with
input from stakeholders. Your comments are sought on how best
to:

- Emphasize areas where collaboration with non-NOAA scientists
would be particularly valuable
- Enhance integration of R&D across goals and disciplines
towards a more holistic understanding of the Earth System
- Highlight connections and interdependencies among R&D goals
and objectives
- Further focus our five-year targets to achieve clear results
The plan will be revised based on comments received during this
public comment period. To provide comments, please follow the
instructions at:

http://www.nrc.noaa.gov/plans.html

This is your opportunity to provide input into NOAA's R&D
portfolio prior to the release of the final version this summer.
Thank you for your valuable support and engagement.
