The Programme Advisory Group (PAG)
The RAPID-WATCH Programme Advisory Group is responsible for directing and integrating the programme science and providing advice to the Programme Executive Board and Science Coordinator on the scientific content of the programme, and for making recommendations to NERC on the award of research funds.
The PAG also advises on the data management arrangements, and for promoting the transfer of the outcomes of the research to the wider user community.
