Mid-Atlantic Bight - National Undersea Research Center (MAB-NURC)
NOAA's
Undersea Research Center for the Middle Atlantic Bight region (MAB)
seeks to understand the processes governing change and stability at
spatial and temporal scales not obtainable with conventional
oceanographic techniques. Since its creation in 1992, the Center has
focused on establishing Long-term Ecosystem Observatories (LEO's) that
enable multi-disciplinary science using in situ observations and
manipulations. At LEO-15, scuba and seafloor observatory studies have
described recruitment of fish and benthic invertebrates, and the
effects of waves and currents on sediment and pollutant transport,
seafloor characteristics, and benthic community dynamics. |

State of New Jersey
New Jersey Department of Treasury, Office of Management & Budget (OMB)
Office
of Management and Budget ensures modern, effective and efficient
governmental operations, both among state departments and within its
own operations, providing strategic direction and financing
alternatives to guide the prudent allocation of limited resources
within the policy framework set by the Governor and accurately
implementing and reflecting the results of those decisions and
subsequent financial transactions in the State budget, in the State
Accounting System, and in the State's Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report. It also assesses budget needs, based on studies of State fiscal
requirements and on official requests for appropriations by State
departments, and formulates the annual budget submitted by the Governor
to the Legislature.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP)
The
Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) advises and assists
members of the Rutgers Community who are engaged in scholarly and
creative activities. ORSP provides information, services and support
above and beyond what is available from traditional departmental
sources, so that members of the Rutgers Community may in times of need
and opportunity compete successfully for outside funding to conduct
scientific research, write books and articles, improve their
performance in the classroom, and better serve their students, their
professions and the public. ORSP ensures accountability, compliance and
stewardship for sponsored programs as directed by the values of the
office and by all applicable Federal, State, and University policies,
procedures and regulations. |
