2008 PMEL Lab Review

2008 PMEL Lab Review

Laboratory scientific reviews are conducted every five years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research conducted in OAR laboratories to both internal and external interests, and to help strategically position the laboratory in its planning of its future science. These reviews are intended to ensure that OAR laboratory research is linked to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Strategic Plan, relevant to NOAA Research mission and priorities, and consistent with NOAA planning, programming, and budgeting. Below are the presentations, indicators of preeminence, and reviewer's comments and final report for the 2008 PMEL lab review.
