Ocean Drilling Program

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity for the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), aimed at advancing research in marine geosciences. This program requires a multi-platform approach to achieve its scientific objectives, including the use of various drilling vessels to collect high-resolution cores and conduct deep drilling projects. The IODP is critical for understanding climate, environmental, and geological processes, and it is supported by international partners, including Japan and Europe. The estimated total funding for this program is $9 million, with a minimum award amount of $300,000, and proposals are accepted on a rolling basis.
