This paper describes the fundamental scientific and observational goals of the Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN). It also reviews the organizational structure, the project management, and important policies. Recent accomplishments are also discussed in some detail, in particular the effective response following the October 16, 1999 Hector Mine earthquake (Mw7.1). The scientific motivation for establishing a continuous GPS network to observe time transient crustal deformation is discussed in detail, especially as it pertains to the 1990’s sequence of fault interaction and postseismic deformation in the eastern California shear zone. As of March 2001, a total of 239 SCIGN stations are operating; 170 of the newest stations were installed by a contractor. The third phase of network construction was recently completed at an average rate of 2 new stations per week. Network implementation is continuing, and construction of the final 16 stations will be fully completed by July 1, 2001.
