JRFB Mandate and Role JRFB 1705 Consensus Statement 16 The JRFB reaffirms its primary goal of implementing all proposals that are thoroughly reviewed, scientifically evaluated, and forwarded by SEP, and that have been recommended for approval by EPSP. Decisions on scheduling are principally dependent on the planned regional track of the JOIDES Resolution; maximizing the fit and balance of proposals to the IODP 2013-2023 Science Plan; funding and ship time availability; and safety, permitting and other logistical constraints.
