CIG Five-Year Strategic Plan Submitted to NSF

This year's Strategic Plan (SP) was developed by the Science Steering Committee (SSC) with assistance provided by the CIG staff. Each SSC member polled different subdisciplines of the CIG communities, and submitted written descriptions that included accomplishments and goals organized over the short-, intermediate-, and long-terms. An SSC meeting at CIG in Pasadena May 29-30 was held specifically to develop this SP. During the meeting, we reviewed our accomplishments and had extensive discussions on our goals while attempting to identify common themes in different disciplines. The finalized SP was submitted to NSF on July 9, 2008.
