In 2016, EPA formed the Science and Information Subcommittee (SIS), an independently appointed subcommittee of the Great Lakes Advisory Board, in response to the GLAB’s call for a standing science panel.
The SIS assists the Board in providing ongoing advice to the EPA Administrator in his capacity as Chair of the Interagency Task Force (IATF) on Great Lakes technical issues, including on adaptive management, the process of learning from past decisions to make GLRI decisions more effective. The SIS may provide other recommendations as requested by the IATF.
