PRISM Organizational Overview PRISM UIF Review February 26, 2001 Karen Schmitt, College of Ocean & Fishery Sciences

Why UIF for PRISM Organization? Significant Organizational Issues for Interdisciplinary Environmental Science at UW –Highly Interdepartmental –Six Colleges & Deans Decentralized Resources –Centers, Libraries, Office of Research (FHL) Regional Need for UW Contributions –ESA –Water Resources –Urban Growth

PRISM Approach Distributed Organization –No Permanent Faculty or Staff Positions –Not a Center or Department –Opportunistically Leverage Existing UW Resources Self-Directed Work Teams (Working Groups) –Highly Interdepartmental, Coordinate via Steering Committee –Involve Participants from Outside UW Use Technology to Facilitate: –Collaboration & Education –Model Integration –Data Base Integration –Information Distribution & Outreach Engage in Regional Issues Where/When Appropriate
