OAR VISION & MISSION

To Deliver NOAA’s Future.

Conduct research to understand and predict the Earth’s oceans, weather and

climate, to advance NOAA science, service and stewardship and transition the results

so they are useful to society.

VISION MISSION

11

OAR’s Research NetworkOAR Laboratories▪ OAR’s laboratories are critical to long-term research endeavors, particularly those that

require major infrastructure, such as monitoring and modeling oceans and atmosphere for climate assessments.

OAR Programs▪ Program offices manage competitive and noncompetitive awards (including extramural)

to focus on specific topics, including emerging areas of research. They are well suited to address research needs that are relatively short-term in nature or that require infrastructure that exists beyond OAR laboratories.

OAR Partners▪ OAR manages the National Sea Grant College program and NOAA’s Cooperative

Institutes. OAR also oversees NOAA’s Technology Partnerships Office (TPO) and NOAA’s Science Advisory Board.
