Competition for a Cooperative Institute in the Great Lakes: The NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) invites applications for the establishment of a Cooperative Institute (CI) in the Great Lakes to help complement NOAA's current and planned activities in the region in support of NOAA's 5-year Research Plan and the 20-year Research Vision. These documents both call for substantial improvement in NOAA's ability to understand, restore, protect, and manage ecosystems to maintain healthy, productive coastal and marine ecosystems that benefit society, and to communicate that information in ways that inform the public to act as stewards for those ecosystems. The CI will be established at a research institution not only having outstanding graduate degree programs in NOAA-related sciences, but also located within the Great Lakes region, which for the purpose of this competition is defined as the eight states that border the Great Lakes - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
