  2. ISFS Communications Team Summary • Communications Team Members - Jim Closs, NASA/GSFC/SSAI • - Juliette Wilson, Lance Everette, USGS Fort Collins Science Center - Michele Banowetz, USGS Public Affairs • - Gladys Cotter, Mike Frame, Annie Simpson, NBII • - Geneva Chong, USGS National Institute of Invasive Species Science ISFS Project Science Team Meeting

  3. ISFS Communications Plan Overview • The ISFS is an important, high profile component of the ESE Applications Program, and a valuable tool for USGS environmental mitigation efforts. We must demonstrate socio-economic benefits through USGS and other partnerships. • We must engage government, education, and professional organizations to:- Leverage ISFS initiatives- Increase awareness of the invasive species issue- Maximize the return on our investment- Stimulate collaboration among partners with mutual vested interest • We do this through effective and regular reporting on:- Computational technology advancements - Science research findings- Decision support accomplishments- Education initiatives ISFS Project Science Team Meeting

  4. ISFS Target Audiences • NASA Stakeholders- HQ Applications Division (Code YO)- HQ Research Division (Code Y)- EOSDIS SEEDS- EOS Clearing House (ECHO)- ESIP Federation- ESTO Computational Technologies Program- Global Change Master Directory • USGS Stakeholders- National Invasive Species Council- National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII)- USGS Biological Resources Division- US Department of the Interior- National Institute of Invasive Species Science ISFS Project Science Team Meeting
