SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At this time, individuals are sought with
expertise in an artificial intelligence and machine learning in the
fields of weather and climate; environmental remote sensing;
engineering for coastal resilience; social and behavioral sciences; and
tropical cyclones. Individuals with expertise in other NOAA mission
areas are also welcome to apply.
NOAA is also interested in expanding the diversity of expertise
represented on the SAB in order to reflect better the viewpoints of the
United States population. The agency welcomes scientists in the listed
areas of expertise and can also provide insights and experiences
derived from their ethnic, gender, and racial backgrounds and races,
native- and tribal-based traditions, and experiences of those who are
differently abled. Composition and Points of View: The board will
consist of approximately fifteen members including a Chair, designated
by the Under Secretary in accordance with FACA requirements.
Members will be appointed for three-year terms, renewable once, and
serve at the discretion of the Under Secretary.
Members will be appointed as special government employees (SGEs)
and will be subject to the ethical standards applicable to SGEs.
Members are reimbursed for actual and reasonable travel and per diem
expenses incurred in performing such duties but will not
[[Page 26526]]
be reimbursed for their time. As a Federal Advisory Committee, the
Board's membership is required to be balanced in terms of viewpoints
represented and the functions to be performed as well as the interests
of geographic regions of the country and the diverse sectors of U.S.
society.
The SAB meets in person three times each year, exclusive of
teleconferences or subcommittee, task force, and working group
meetings. Board members must be willing to serve as liaisons to SAB
working groups and/or participate in periodic reviews of the NOAA
Cooperative Institutes and overarching reviews of NOAA's research
enterprise.
Nominations: Interested persons may nominate themselves or third
parties.
Applications: An application is required to be considered for board
membership, regardless of whether a person is nominated by a third
party or self-nominated. The application package must include: (1) the
nominee's full name, title, institutional affiliation, and contact
information, including mailing address; (2) the nominee's area(s) of
expertise; (3) a short description of their qualifications relative to
the kinds of advice being solicited by NOAA in this Notice; and (4) a
current resume (maximum length four [4] pages).
