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

3
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
