The Science Plan was developed by the RWSC Steering Committee based on recommendations from the RWSC Subcommittees and many other experts. It describes data and research needs for the larger community, whether funded by the RWSC or not, and provides a framework for the RWSC Steering Committee when making decisions on what projects to fund via the RWSC.
The Subcommittees are meeting regularly to share partners updates and implement Science Plan recommendations.
