Part 1: Project Status ReportProject Title

(RA Planning Grant and RCOOS)

Project Investigators

Project Duration:(E.g., 3 years; currently in year 2, or x months if this is a better

representation of project time)

Project Status Report

Project Schedule and Milestones – RA Planning Grant and RCOOS:

• List here (based on FY09 revised scope of work)

• Color code milestone status: green - completed; yellow – in progress; red – not started

Significant Accomplishments:

• Accomplishments should be descriptive and based on FY08 revised scope of work

4

Keys to Success and Potential Challenges

What worked well?• Describe 2 or 3 key project products, technical aspects, relationships, etc. that have

worked well• Identify the important factors contributing to the success for each

Describe potential and/or real challenges (e.g., institutional barriers, technical barriers, scientific barriers, personal, etc)

Resolving challengesH

ow might these challenges be resolved? (Besides additional financial resources)

For example, are there actions that NOAA or

other federal agencies could take to assist?

Directions: Place an “x” in boxes that best describe the kinds of products being developed for the focus areas. See RA Presentation guidelines for terms

Current Status: Product Examples

Directions: Decision-makers (Congress, OMB, etc) want to know what IOOS is accomplishing - in terms that they can understand. Provide 1-3 of what you considered to be your most compelling user products (i.e., Level 2 products). Examples:

• Provide notification to the shellfish industry on possible outbreaks of harmful algal blooms so they can avoid risks to public health

• Provide benthic mapping to coastal managers in support of climate change preparedness

• Provide “one-stop-shopping” to commercial mariners on ocean and weather conditions,

These will help us make the case for IOOS.

Map 1a: Existing Observing Assets• Directions - Use a Google earth background of your region, please provide a map of your

existing system using the legend provided by the sample map of SCCOOS - Consistent backgrounds and legends will enable the development of the final report. If possible, add your RA logo to the lower right side. Below is a sample map from SCCOOS.

Part 2: Looking Forward:

Future Plans Assuming $5 million of funding per year, please indicate what your future plans are for your RA. The $5 million should cover activities currently funded by the RA Planning Grants and the RCOOS.
