The advisory board of public engagement with science (PES) experts and representatives of other STEM research networks and organizations promotes accountability of the work and broadens its impact beyond the
LTER Network. We convene these advisors on an annual basis to review project activities, elicit feedback for improvement, and identify opportunities for dissemination. Knowledge generated from this project will be relevant to STEM research organizations beyond the LTER Network, particularly the environmental research networks, field stations, and marine laboratories of the U.S., many of which are represented on our advisory board.
