The NPRB is also seeking nominations for one seat on its science panel and three seats on its advisory panel. All four positions will become available on June 1, 2018. The deadline for nominations is March 2.
The science panel assists the NPRB in shaping its scientific program by advising on science planning and identification of research priorities, identification and evaluation of scientific information relevant to the board’s mission and review of proposals and technical evaluations received by the board. More information is online at http://www.nprb.org/nprb/about-us/science-panel.
The advisory panel represents stakeholders, user groups and other interested parties from areas within the board’s purview. The advisory board’s role includes setting research priorities and defining questions, and highlighting proposals with special stakeholder relevance. To that end, nominations are sought from individuals with practical knowledge and experience in one or more of these large marine regions.
