Charge to the PanelCharge to the PanelThe objective of the review is to assess the quality and effectiveness of NCAR’s performance as managers of an NSF and Division of Atmospheric Science funded Federally Funded Research and Development Center.
In considering this objective, the panel may examine the following questions:
1) Has NCAR management facilitated a strategic partnership with the NSF?
2) Has NCAR demonstrated clear leadership in science and management, and an effective process for cultivating a long-term vision, mission and strategy?
3) Has NCAR developed a robust process for planning and review that engages the community?
4) Has NCAR been effective in promoting and sustaining cross-divisional and interdisciplinary programs?
5) Has NCAR established productive national and international scientific links with Federal agencies, international institutions, NGOs, and the global research community
6) Has NCAR encouraged and facilitated the participation of underrepresented groups (gender, ethnicity, disability, etc.)?
