  2. Provide a focal point for Federal, intergovernmental, and public-private partnerships
  3. Provide a focal point between Federal Programs and the PCAST Biodiversity and Ecosystems Panel
  4. Provide a focal point for coordination with international programs and organizations
  5. Advise the Subcomittee on Ecological Systems (SES)
