Starting in FY22, the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council shifted from an annual public meeting and funding process to a five-year cycle. Along with the required annual and final reporting, in 2024 a biennial review of projects was conducted by EVOSTC staff, the Public Advisory Committee, and the Science Panel. The biennial review process is intended to provide feedback to PIs and to keep the Trustees informed regarding progress made on EVOSTC-funded projects in between Council meetings. Reviews are summarized in the biennial report to Trustees. EVOSTC Science Panel, Executive Director/Staff, and Public Advisory Committee reviews are summarized for each project as one of the following: no concerns, minor concerns, moderate concerns, or major concerns.
