Project Liaisons
The Coastal Response Research Center was established
as a partnership between the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), through the Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R),
and the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in 2004. The Center is
administered by and located at the UNH campus in Durham, NH.
This partnership stimulates innovation in spill
preparedness, response, assessment, and implementation of optimum
spill recovery strategies. The primary purpose of the Center is
to bring together the resources of a research-oriented university
and the field expertise of OR&R to conduct and oversee basic
and applied research, conduct outreach, and encourage strategic
partnerships in spill response, assessment and restoration.
The Center involves individuals and institutions,
public and private, at local, regional, national and international
levels in identifying needs, evaluating and demonstrating promising
technologies, and fostering their use as part of new, integrative
approaches to response and restoration.

Science Advisory Panel
The Center's Science Advisory Panel will consist
of scientists and engineers experienced in the areas of marine spills,
particularly with protection and restoration of coastal environments
and communities. The Panel will be composed of representatives from
the academic community, governmental agencies (federal and/or state)
and the private sector. The Panel will have a membership of 8-10
individuals nominated by NOAA, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. EPA, other
governmental agencies, research institutions, and the private sector
and selected by the UNH Vice President for Research and Public Service.
Members serve two-year terms.
The Panel, acting by consensus, will advise and
make recommendations to the UNH Vice President for Research and
Public Service regarding the long range research themes and priorities
of the Center; the merit of research projects funded by the Center;
and the merit of the Center's research programs and activities.

OR&R NOAA Project Liaisons for Funded CRRC
Projects
These individuals will be appointed based on
interest, expertise, opportunity for staff development and availability
as determined by OR&R management. Interactions between NOAA
Project Liaisons and CRRC Project PIs are expected to improve the
relevance of the funded work to OR&R needs and to build partnerships
within the research community. These Project Liaisons will:
- Provide technical advice to the CRRC Co-Directors.
This would include working directly with the CRRC Co-directors
to: review project experimental design/quality assurance plans,
read and comment on progress reports, and review documents and
presentations for the CRRC Science Advisory Panel and other entities,
as appropriate.
- Visit to project research sites, as appropriate
to conduct reviews or observe experiments.
- Work with the Co-Directors, other OR&R
staff, and the Project PIs to proactively translate the research
into field application.
