The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released a new draft version of its 5‐year research and development (R&D) plan for 2013–2017, Research and Development at NOAA: Environmental Understanding to Ensure America's Vital and Sustainable Future . The plan, which was announced in the Federal Register on 7 May, will chart a course for R&D in support of the agency's four long‐term goals of climate, weather, oceans, and coasts, and it will guide the agency's R&D activities over the next 5 years.
