The contractor will provide technical, analytic and programmatic support services to USGCRP National Coordination Office. Major activities include core contract support for program coordination, facilitation and operational support; technical and operational expertise to support the end-to-end production of the National Climate Assessment and other domestic and international climate change assessments; technical and operational support for non-assessment strategic documents and technical reports; coordination and support of USGCRP planning and budget activities; communication and stakeholder outreach activities in support of USGCRP objectives; and technical support and development of USGCRP’s web presence, public online information resources, and office network and applications.
