Those documents should be harmonized, period, and yes, I strongly feel we need a clear and formal research strategy that comes from the federal government and directs the science community and sets priorities. Most other nations have this. It helps you decide what to do and helps you work together as a global community.
There are many research stations and many researchers, and we're all doing priority-setting exercises. At ArcticNet, we would love some guidance on that through a strategy.
