What trends will shape our future?
What challenges or opportunities will we face?
What should NOAA strive to accomplish?

The answers to these three questions will drive the development of NOAA's Next Generation Strategic Plan (NGSP) and guide NOAA's course through the next 25 years. NOAA's Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) is leading the development of the NGSP, to be completed in early 2010. Throughout this year-long development, we'll gather and analyze data on long-term trends, challenges, and uncertainties from a variety of perspectives - environmental, economic, political, scientific, technological, and social. And we want you to be a part of it. Please share your insight, knowledge, and vision with PPI.

Tell us what you think about it.

For more information on the development of the NGSP, please refer to the NGSP Presentation or the more detailed NGSP Terms of Reference. You may also refer to the schedule of events, a regularly updated timeline of the NGSP development process.
