Timeline
    Description

    The National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting proposals for the establishment of a Scientific Ocean Drilling Coordination Office (SODCO) within its Division of Ocean Sciences. The primary objective of SODCO is to coordinate and manage drilling activities for the U.S. ocean science community, facilitating the selection of suitable drilling platforms and services for collecting subseafloor samples and installing long-term observatories. This initiative is crucial for advancing oceanographic research and innovation in drilling technologies, with an estimated total program funding of $40 million available over a potential five-year period, subject to renewal. Interested applicants, including non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Tribal Nations, must submit their proposals by July 30, 2024, and can reach out to NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov for assistance.
