Active NOPP Project FY2017 Updates
In FY2017, the National Oceanographic Partnership Program funded 25 projects, in support of both new and ongoing efforts. Annually, each project’s lead Principal Investigator is required to submit a report, providing a summary of updates and accomplishments from the year. Check out the following list of active projects to learn about the wide array of NOPP’s successes in 2017!
