Technical Support Coordination requires <br /> <br />effective communication with Researchers, Program Managers and GIS and DASA personnel to <br /> <br />facilitate collection and delivery of information that complies with GCMRC Data Standards. <br /> <br />Coordination entails evaluation of requests and schedulling of the appropriate equipment, <br /> <br />materials, services and personnel required to implement research activities. Examples of <br /> <br />Technical Support requests include: <br /> <br />. Copies of existing map products and aerial photo sets. <br />. Processing requests to GIS for new map products. <br />. Scheduling Field Equipment (i.e. Computers, handheld GPS units, digital cameras, <br />etc.). <br />. Scheduling personnel required to assist with field work. <br />. Consultation with GIS personnel for recommendations on data collection methods to <br />achieve effective integration with the GIS. <br />. Consultation with Data Base personnel for advice on data collection formatting to <br />achieve effective integration with the GCMRC Data Base. <br /> <br />Additionally, future dissemination of essential information to researchers related to <br />permitting procedures, trip planning and survey and technical support requests will necessitate <br />utilization of the GCMRC web page. Development of a Research Coordination and Support <br />Program web page will include information pages and access to on-line forms to submit requests <br />for scheduling river trips, and survey and technical support. The web pages will be developed in <br />cooperation with the Information Office staff. <br /> <br />Logistics Operations - The GCMRC provides complete logistical support for 35-50 <br />research, monitoring and administrative river trips through the Grand Canyon annually. These <br />trips range in length from 7 to 21 days and from 4 to 36 people in size. Trips are comprised of a <br />variety of motor and oar powered boats operated by contracted boat operators. Projects operating <br />in the Glen Canyon reach of the Colorado River (Glen Canyon Dam to Lee's Ferry) are <br />supported by a variety of motor powered boats operated by GCMRC researchers and contracted <br />boat operators. Additionally, research activities on the Little Colorado River and at other <br />locations outside of the Grand Canyon National Park boundaries are supported by helicopter <br />services contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation. Ground based support for other research <br />activities outside of the river corridor are also coordinated with the use of GCMRC vehicles. <br />The GCMRC uses a method of supporting trips in which government owned boats and <br />river logistical equipment are used in conjunction with a contracted vendor who supplies <br /> <br />GCMRC FY2006 Annual Work Plan (Draft February 15,2005) <br />
