This $4,600,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the research infrastructure and ship operations of the R/V Atlantic Explorer, an ocean/intermediate class research vessel owned and operated by the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) and homeported in Bermuda. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028. The funded activities support scientific users of the R/V Atlantic Explorer, primarily for NSF-funded research projects, and contribute to a broad suite of teaching, mentorship, and public outreach programs. The R/V Atlantic Explorer's research and cruise activities are important contributors to education, training, and public outreach, including undergraduate and graduate research projects, at-sea training, and graduate courses with sea-going components. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
