FY1998 Funded Projects

The following is a list of projects (showing the project title and lead PI) funded under the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) in FY1998. Discussions on the contractual details of each award were initiated at the Office of Naval Research. (On May 11, 1998, ONR issued a press release announcing the establishment of NOPP and specified these projects.) For abstracts of these projects and the partnerships involved in each one, click on the title of the project.
