Committee on Scientific Planning and Review (CSPR)

The Committee on Scientific Planning and Review (CSPR) was established in 1998, to coordinate the development of proposals for major new scientific initiatives by ICSU and to advise the Executive Board (EB) on priorities for such initiatives. The Committee also reviews the activities carried out by ICSU’s Interdisciplinary Bodies, advises the EB on the future course of these activities, and oversees the ICSU Grants Programme. The CSPR is chaired by ICSU's Vice-President for Scientific Planning and Review.
