 ## PAM SI Lab Manual Template
 
-Insert goals here
+A key priority of the PAM SI team is to leverage GitHub as a collaboration and coordination tool, while utilizing its project management tools. To achieve this, we propose the development of national and regional lab manuals. These manuals will serve as the primary storage location for all lab related information, including methods, data management, and contribute to the open science framework we aim to adopt.

-## How To Use This Template
-
-## Template Intro
-
-This is a template for a simple Quarto website that looks like a "book". This is a common format for documentation. It includes a GitHub Action that will build the website automatically when you make changes to the files. The NOAA palette and fonts has been added to `theme.scss`. The webpage will be on the `gh-pages` branch. Serving the website files from this branch is a common way to keep all the website files from cluttering your main branch.
-
-The GitHub Action installs R so you can have R code in your qmd or Rmd files. Note, you do not need to make changes to your Rmd files unless your need Quarto features like cross-references.
