  4. IOOC Functions • Cont. • Establish a competitive matching grant or other program to promote intramural and extramural research and development of new, innovative, and emerging observation technologies including testing and field trials; • facilitate the migration of new, innovative and emerging scientific and technological advances from research and development to operational deployment; • Periodically review the IOOS plan and suggest revisions; • Ensure collaboration among Federal agencies and other relevant stakeholder groups; • Perform such additional duties as the Council may delegate. • Section 12309 requires the IOOC through the Administrator and Director of NSF to obtain an independent cost estimate
