The Center for Ocean Leadership (COL) is a program within UCP. COL was established as a Center under UCP in 2022 to support the ongoing work of the ocean science community. COL is a convenor and coordinator for ocean science working with our 85+ affiliated institutions and federal agencies across the government. COL affiliated institutions span the academic, industry, and non-profit sectors engaged in ocean science, technology development and public education. COL staff are experienced in managing research granting programs such as the funds available for ocean research in the Gulf of Mexico following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. UCP Centers and programs provide research, training, convening, data science and other facilities for earth system sciences broadly. UCP manages a budget of $60M under management. UCP Business Shared Services are experienced with all aspects of the business side of scientific program management including budget formulation and execution, proposal development and management, contract management, overall fiscal management, human resource functions and more.  \nWHEREAS, RWSC was established by and provides a forum and capacity for the federal agencies, Atlantic coast states, offshore wind companies, and environmental non-governmental organizations (“Sector Caucuses”) to implement RWSC’s mission “to collaboratively and effectively conduct and coordinate relevant, credible, and efficient regional monitoring and research of wildlife and marine ecosystems that supports the advancement of environmentally responsible and cost-efficient offshore wind power development activities in U.S. Atlantic waters”. RWSC is co-hosted by the Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) and Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) and supported by the Coastal States Stewardship Foundation (CSSF) as fiscal agent for operational funds. RWSC is governed by a Steering Committee with  \nDocuSign Envelope ID: 7A8E7817-7136-4266-9A5B-D16C7D7D0DB2  \nequal representation from the four Sector Caucuses. RWSC identifies research priorities and coordinates research, data collection, and data management through its topical Subcommittees, which include members from each of the Sector Caucuses and the broader research community who have specific expertise conducting research or managing data for each taxon/topic. The RWSC Annual Work Plan, which is approved by the Steering Committee, is implemented by a director who is selected to serve as the primary point of contact on behalf of RWSC to administer operational funds and manage activities including convening the Subcommittees and overseeing the staff supporting these activities. The Steering Committee and the Sector Caucuses, with support from the Subcommittees, are developing an Integrated Science Plan for Offshore Wind, Wildlife, and Habitat in U.S. Atlantic Waters (“Science Plan”) that will describe existing research and data management funded individually or collaboratively by the four Sectors and partners, as well as data gaps and research needs.
