<P> Scientific reviews are conducted every five years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research conducted at the OAR laboratories . These reviews help to strategically position laboratories in their planning of future science and are intended to ensure that OAR laboratory research is linked to the NOAA Next Generation Strategic Plan, remains relevant to the NOAA research mission and its priorities, and is consistent with NOAA planning, programming, and budgeting processes . </P> <P> NOAA Research partners with research - oriented universities and institutions to share data and resources to advance the goals of NOAA . </P> <Ul> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Climate Science (CICS - P) - Princeton, NJ </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites (CICS - M) - College Park, MD </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research (CIFAR) - Fairbanks, AK </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER) - Ann Arbor, MI </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) - Miami, FL </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Marine Ecosystems and Climate (CIMEC) - La Jolla, CA </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) - Norman, OK </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Marine Resources Studies (CIMRS) - Newport, OR </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) - Madison, WI </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region (CINAR) - Woods Hole, MA </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research, and Technology (CIOERT) - Fort Pierce, FL </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) - Fort Collins, CO </Li> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) - Boulder, CO </Li> <Li> Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (CIPIR / JIMAR) - Honolulu, HI </Li> <Li> Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) - Seattle, Washington </Li> <Li> Northern Gulf Institute (NGI) - Stennis Space Center, MS </Li> </Ul> <Li> Cooperative Institute for Climate Science (CICS - P) - Princeton, NJ </Li>
