NOAA
is expanding upon existing regional coordination and communication
efforts with a shift towards Regional Collaboration, which
adds the component of integrating program activities to
address NOAA’s priorities at both the national and
regional scale. The purpose of regional collaboration is
to improve NOAA’s productivity and value to customers,
using existing authority and accountability structures.
This effort does not entail any changes to NOAA’s
organizational structure. Rather, it seeks to identify
and apply NOAA’s full range of capabilities, within
and across regions, to design the best, geographically-specific
solutions for customers.
The
following documents provide more detail about NOAA's Regional
Collaboration effort.
