Interagency Science Team (IST)
The Interagency Science Team (IST) will provide science advice, support and guidance for FPA. The Team will have a designated lead, the lead will represent the Advisory Team on the Oversight Group. Team members will be representative of the DOI and USFS science and research community.
The Team will be comprised of scientists designated as primary members with other scientists as ad hoc members, as needed, to address specific issues or topics. The Team may interact with the Program Manager, the Executive Director, and/or the Board. The Team’s key roles are to develop, review, evaluate and/or recommend conceptual designs, architectures, data sources, data definitions, and/or analysis techniques.
