For funding beginning in FY 2011, the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) welcomes research proposals meeting the goal of partnerships between at least two of the following three sectors: academia, industry (including NGOs), and government. Proposals may address one or more of the following topic areas:
- Continued Development of Regional Coastal Ocean Observing Systems
- National-Scale Efforts Toward Verification and Validation of Observing Technologies
- Improved and Routine Production, Stewardship, and Application of the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Data
- Observational Data for Migratory Species on the Outer Continental Shelf to Inform Permitting and Licensing for Offshore Renewable Energy Facilities and to Contribute to Basic Knowledge of Marine Mammal Behavior and Ecology in this Habitat
The partner agencies (NOAA, NASA, ONR, DOE) are particularly interested in projects that provide timely and appropriate information to public mission agencies at the national, regional, state, local, and tribal levels, and that address integration across regional and national agency priorities. The deadline to apply is Friday, October 1, 2010 by 5:00 pm Eastern standard time.
