USGCRP is steered by the Subcommittee on Global Change Research (SGCR) of the National Science and Technology Council’s (NSTC) Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Sustainability (CENRS) and overseen by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The SGCR, made up of representatives from each of the 13 agencies that participate in USGCRP, coordinates interagency activities through the USGCRP National Coordination Office (NCO) and interagency working groups (IWGs).
