Logistics Operations <br />Program Staff address each of these elements in assessment of support requests from <br />researchers to determine which tools and processes will best facilitate the most effective <br />collection and delivery of information from research projects. Through the combined effort of <br />the program elements the process of research support is executed as a complete and fully <br />integrated support service, The process is initiated in the proposal review and permitting stage, <br />continued through the support coordination stage and completed with information delivery, The <br />process acts as an accountability checkpoint, failure to meet agreed data collection and delivery <br />standards is addressed immediately and corrective solutions are sought to avoid any delay in <br />project completion, <br /> <br />Permitting-Research projects supported by the GCMRC must hold all required permits in <br />compliance with Federal, State, Tribal and Local Agencies in which project activities are <br />conducted and accessed, Research activities conducted within Grand Canyon National Park and <br />Glen Canyon National Recreation Area require National Park Service Research and Collecting <br />Permits and Access Permits for all river launches, back country use, over flights, and media <br />(filming) production, All permits acquired for GCMRC supported projects are processed and <br />submitted through the Research Coordination and Support Program, Copies of all approved <br />permits are kept on file in the Research Coordinator's Office. <br />All Investigators, Permitees, and project cooperators are responsible for compliance with <br />the regulations and restrictions of their Research and Collection Permit. All trip participants are <br />expected to comply with all GCNP Commercial Operating Requirements while participating on <br />research trips, All PI's and their designated Permitee are required to sign a Research Use <br />Affidavit/Notice of Adverse Actions and Penalties Form which specifies potential penalties for <br />violations of permit conditions. Failure on the part of investigators or their representatives <br />to adhere to Park and Permit Regulations may result in withdrawal of their permit and <br />other penalties. <br /> <br />GCMRC FY2005.2006 Draft Annual Work Plan (November 10,2003) <br />
