Future role of CIMASin University academics

• Strengthen Postdoc programs, ideally by
  seeking funding that is not tied to externally
  funded research projects
• Revive visiting scientist program for
  Fisheries, possibly through collaboration with
  the CSF
• Increase participation in the NOAA EPP/MSI
  program
• Plan mechanisms that will ensure that current
  collaborative opportunities do not get weakened
  by future changes in the RSMAS campus
