Strategic Planning Process:

The primary objective of the NCAR strategic planning effort is to create and update a set of documents that clearly explain our direction over the next three to five years. These plans focus on strategic actions and priorities for significant investment and potential growth. They will guide our decisions on future commitments and seeking additional funds over the next five years, and provide the framework for our annual budget reviews and program planning.
