WATER RESOURCES DISCIPLINE INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM NO. 2001.04 

Subject:  PERSONNEL--Announcement of Current Research Advisors and 
                        Assistant Research Advisors for Research 

The purpose of this memorandum is to announce the current Research 
Advisors 
(RAs) and Assistant Research Advisors (ARAs) for the research disciplines. 

Research Advisors and Assistant Research Advisors serve on a rotational 
basis.  The two smallest disciplines, Geomorphology and Sediment Transport 

and Surface-Water Hydrology, are combined for the purpose of Research 
Grade 
Evaluation (RGE) panels.  They remain, however, separate and distinct 
disciplines. 

Research Advisors serve (1) as technical representatives for the 
disciplines 
and (2) as advisors to the National Research Program management team on 
matters of technical direction, personnel, and budgets.
