Priority Responsibilities
The full breadth of responsibilities of the U.S. IOOS Program is described in the ICOOS Act, U.S. IOOS:
A Blueprint for Full Capability, and the IOOS Development Plan.
The near-term, priority responsibilities are described below. As opportunities arise, the program office will take on additional roles to advance the implementation of U.S. IOOS.
Provide Programmatic Leadership –
Build the structure and support necessary to advance implementation and recognition of U.S. IOOS, including participation in the Federal budget process to secure additional resources.
Foster Operational Capability –
Lead and coordinate Federal and non-Federal contributions to U.S. IOOS, specifically:
- Coordinate Federal contributions to all IOOS sub-systems
- Lead development of Regional IOOS as part of the national system
- Lead development and implementation of DMAC
- Lead and provide project management for selected observing and modeling/analysis efforts.
Forge Robust Partnerships – Initiate and sustain relationships to encourage participation in U.S. IOOS by Federal agencies, non-Federal groups and industry
Champion Regional and Stakeholder Interests – Connect Regional products and services to national needs, and connect Federal groups to Regional entities
