The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program currently supports a network office that coordinates research across the 26 active research sites, helps to organize an annual Science Council meeting along with a tri-annual All Scientists meeting, maintains and develops data maintenance programs to ensure data availability, and provides training sessions for information management and data collection. This project will support an effort to gather broad input on potential future roles and responsibilities of a network office, survey other research networks that do or do not have coordinating offices, and suggest potential structures for a future network office. The three goals of the project are appropriate and sufficiently inclusive to ensure that diverse opinions and options are considered. An inclusive list of scientific societies, research communities, and federal agencies will be consulted for input. The task force assembled to implement these activities consists of leading researchers in the fields of ecology, environmental biology, and ecosystem science. The results obtained will contribute significantly to the development of a network office that ensures communication and cooperation across the diverse LTER community.The broader impacts of this project are strong. The task force itself is comprised of 4 female researchers and one male, tipping the normal balance of scientific activities. The diverse activities planned will ensure that a wide range of ethnic groups is included along with individuals from very different sorts of institutions. Finally, the current network office has lead responsibility for a large number of LTER broader impacts, and these will figure heavily into the task force discussions.

长期生态研究(LTER)计划目前支持一个网络办公室，该办公室协调26个活跃研究地点的研究，帮助组织一年一度的科学理事会会议和三年一度的所有科学家会议，维护和开发数据维护计划以确保数据可用性，并提供信息管理和数据收集的培训课程。该项目将支持就网络办公室未来可能的作用和责任收集广泛意见的努力，调查有或没有协调办公室的其他研究网络，并为未来网络办公室的潜在结构提出建议。该项目的三个目标是适当的，具有足够的包容性，以确保考虑到不同的意见和选择。将征求科学协会、研究团体和联邦机构的意见。为实施这些活动而组建的工作组由生态学、环境生物学和生态系统科学领域的领先研究人员组成。所取得的成果将极大地促进网络办公室的发展，确保不同的长期热核实验区社区之间的交流与合作。工作组本身由4名女性研究人员和1名男性组成，打破了正常的科学活动平衡。计划的各种活动将确保包括广泛的族裔群体以及来自非常不同类型的机构的个人。最后，目前的网络办公室对LTER的大量更广泛影响负有牵头责任，这些将在工作队的讨论中发挥重要作用。
