SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NOAA Science Advisory Board (SAB) was
established by a Decision Memorandum dated September 25, 1997, and is
the only Federal Advisory Committee with responsibility to advise the
Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere on strategies for
research, education, and application of science to operations and
information services. SAB activities and advice provide necessary input
to ensure that National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
science programs are of the highest quality and provide optimal support
to resource management. At this time, individuals are sought with
expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning;
environmental remote sensing; social and behavioral sciences;
storytelling. Individuals with expertise in other NOAA mission areas
are also welcome to apply. NOAA is also interested in expanding the
diversity of viewpoints represented on the SAB. The agency welcomes
scientists in the listed areas of expertise and other relevant ones who
come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and races, Native and Tribal
communities, and gender as well as those who are differently abled.
Composition and Points of View: The Board will consist of
approximately twenty 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 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 his/her qualifications relative
to the kinds of advice being solicited by NOAA in this Notice; and (4)
a current resume (maximum length four [4] pages).
