Ocean Drilling Program
The Ocean Drilling Program funds research and exploration of the ocean floor.
About this program
The Ocean Drilling Program is designed to advance scientific understanding of the Earth's structure and processes through the exploration of the ocean floor. It supports projects that involve drilling into the seabed to collect geological and geophysical data, which can provide insights into climate change, tectonic activity, and marine ecosystems. This program is aimed at researchers, universities, and institutions involved in marine science and geology. Eligible participants can apply for funding to conduct innovative research that contributes to our understanding of oceanic processes and their impact on global systems. The program encourages collaboration among scientists from various disciplines and promotes the sharing of data and findings to enhance collective knowledge in the field of oceanography.
Eligibility
Eligible entities include research institutions, universities, and organizations focused on marine science and geology.
Requirements
- Research proposal must align with ocean drilling objectives
- Collaboration with other institutions is encouraged
