This cooperative agreement establishes a project office to conduct planning and
consortium development for this environmental observatory initiative. Key
elements of the project office activities include the development of a science
plan based on "grand challenge" issues that have compelling scientific merit,
address critical national needs, and can be advanced only through a networked
observatory-based infrastructure. Community consensus building constitutes a
second major activity for the project office. This activity includes: (1)
identifying and broadly engaging the engineering-science research and education
communities in consensus-building activities, including development of the
program plan, (2) incorporating the socio-economic community in these plans, (3)
collaborating with the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of
Hydrologic Sciences, Inc. (CUAHSI) to organize a community consortium that will
lead further development of the initiative, and (4) working with NSF to involve
other relevant government agencies and private sector organizations as active
partners in the initiative. See http://cleaner.ncsa.uiuc.edu
