  2. Outline • Meeting Purpose • STIP Purpose • Development Process and Management • Requested Committee Decisions • Next Steps and Timeline

  3. Meeting Purpose • Committee Review of NWS S&T Infusion Plan (STIP) • Decisions Requested: Endorsement of STIP • Roadmaps and Thrusts • Corporate Use • Management and Update Process

  4. STIP Purpose • Support NWS Operational Product, Service, and Effectiveness Improvement Needs by: • Defining S&T Solutions and Needs • Identifying S&T Opportunities • Advancing Corporate S&T Investment Thrusts • Establishing Framework for End-to-End, Research to Operations S&T Planning and Execution including: • Planning Programming Budgeting Executing • Defining processes/mechanisms to accelerate S&T Infusion in disciplined, cost-effective manners

  5. NOAA Strategic Plan STIP PurposePlace in Planning Universe Plans must be consistent and Linked to Strategic Plans

  6. STIP Decisions to Date • August 2001 Corporate Board Meeting • Focus on NWS “Today and Next” (Next Ten Years) • February 2002 Corporate Board Meeting • STIP Planning Strategy Approved • Form “McCarthy” Teams to Execute (OST/OHD Lead) • March 2002 Joint NWS/OAR/NESDIS S&T Review • OAR & NESDIS Agree to participate

  7. STIP Development ProcessTask • Define “Plan of Attack” for NWS Today (2003 – 2007) • Evaluate gaps in performance • Identify gap causes • Define gap fillers and needs • Scope costs • Propose Performance Measure Targets for NWS Next (2012) • Identify outstanding/additional S&T/R&D needs • Develop Roadmaps from Today to Next Use SPIG and Other Plans and Evaluations as Guide
