The committee was not asked to provide detailed recommendations on the structure or components of the implementation plan, but notes that more emphasis on the integration of federal program assessment, evaluation, and plan updates with community-wide planning and implementation would build support for the program and give the research plan greater longevity through regular reconsideration of the priorities. The committee also felt that the ORPPIS did not adequately describe how the near-term priorities fit within existing research efforts and the 20 longer-term research priorities.

RECOMMENDATION: External committees should be established to provide independent and credible advice to the Joint Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology on the implementation of the Ocean Research Priorities Plan and Implementation Strate gy. At least three types of external committees would be required: 1.

budget reviews are performed largely per agency, presenting an administrative barrier to the assessment of progress on interagency programs envisioned in the ORPPIS, a more coordinated mechanism will be required to ensure that the interagency priorities are included in the budget planning for the individual agencies.

RECOMMENDATION: The JSOST should develop cost estimates for the federal components of the research priorities plan to facilitate longer-term planning for implementation and for achieving the plan's goals.
