... The planning process identified six overarching strategies that can steer the Program toward producing lasting benefits. These are key opportunities where the mission of the Program aligns with the strengths of the National Academies and where the 30-year duration and long-term perspective hold special potential for cumulative impacts.

... Other areas in the United States and around the world have experience in offshore energy development and oil spills that could provide important information. Thus, work that transfers knowledge to or from other places in the United States, the Gulf of Mexico, or other nations is possible within the scope of the Program.

... Science to Serve Community Needs The Program will seek to foster science that serves the needs of the region's numerous and diverse communities. This science will include "translational research"6 or "actionable" science that is focused on the ways in which new knowledge can be used by the public, resource managers, program managers, community planners, and other decision makers and how the public can 6Translationalresearch is research that strives to translate scientific discoveries into tangible human benefit.

... For example, research to identify opportunities to speed postdisaster recovery can be coupled with research on policy implementation that would encourage decision makers to take advantage of these opportunities. Translational research includes efforts to develop and encourage the adoption of best practices to maximize the impact of research.

... Program staff will continue to interact regularly with other related Gulf region funding organizations to ensure communication and seek opportunities for coordination and collaboration. The Program recognizes the importance of engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders so its work will be informed by those who live and work in the Gulf and understand the region's needs and challenges.

... Leadership and Capacity Building Through a range of activities over the 30 years, the Program will seek to invest in capacity building -- providing opportunities for emerging academic and community leaders, state and regional decision makers, students, and institutions to develop skills, competencies, and capabilities that are needed to solve problems, spark innovation, and establish more sustainable systems, economies, and communities. By providing opportunities for leadership development, a next generation of individuals and institutions can emerge prepared to think broadly and innovatively to resolve problems in complex, multistressed social–ecological systems and enhance community resilience.
