Issuing agencies

Abstract

The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), in collaboration with the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), requests comments from the public on the draft prospectus of its upcoming decadal Strategic Plan. The USGCRP is nearing the end of the implementation phase of its current plan, the National Global Change Research Plan 2012-2021; the Global Change Research Act calls for a 10- year plan with periodic updates. More detail on USGCRP strategic planning processes to date can be found here. The prospectus for the 2022-2031 Strategic Plan culminates an 8-month effort to solicit inputs from USGCRP member agencies, interagency working groups, and OSTP, as well as recommendations from external organizations such as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The prospectus can be accessed for review, and comments may be submitted through the USGCRP Review and Comment (R&C) System.
