Background/History of the Laboratory:
The North Atlantic Area of the Agricultural
Research Service encompasses twelve research locations from
Maine to West Virginia. The Area Director provides executive leadership of the Area's scientific program
and
management of personnel and infrastructure required by the program. This is accomplished by:
The Area Director participates in development of a complex
national strategic plan for agricultural research in
the Agency, and assures the plan is executed with coordination, cooperation, and integration of research
with
associated land-grant organizations, other Federal agencies, public entities, and private and international
sector institutions.
