Purpose of Review
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) conducts independent peer reviews of each of its laboratories and programs every five years. In addition, scientific functions within OAR may be evaluated as part of cross-Line Office reviews (such as those conducted by the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program or the NOAA Aquaculture Program). Further, OAR may initiate topical reviews that span multiple labs and/or programs. The purpose of the reviews is:
- to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of the research conducted and sponsored by OAR laboratories and programs;
- to develop and implement recommendations to improve the quality, relevance and performance of OAR research;
- to strategically position the laboratory or program in its planning for future research and development.
The reviews comply with the requirements of NOAA Administrative Order 216-115B: Research and Development in NOAA and OAR Circular 216-3: OAR Laboratory and Program Science Evaluations.
