The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) awarded $1.67 million to the University of Washington through a five-year Cooperative Agreement (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2031) to operate and maintain the Seafloor Sampling (SEASAM) program. SEASAM delivers shared access to specialized seafloor sampling equipment, technical expertise, and operational support integrated within the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System academic research fleet. Core services include provision of coring and dredging equipment, sample processing capabilities, deck operations support, real-time sample assessment, cruise planning assistance, and sample and data management aligned with national data repositories. The program supports the full lifecycle of seafloor research operations, enabling NSF-funded investigators nationwide to advance understanding of tectonic processes, marine resources, and ocean floor materials critical to understanding natural hazards and Earth history. SEASAM also strengthens the national research workforce through structured training and mentorship of students and early-career scientists. Planned subawards will distribute funding to multiple collaborating institutions to deliver these specialized capabilities across the distributed fleet infrastructure, ensuring scalable and sustainable support for ongoing marine geosciences research aligned with NSF's intellectual merit and broader impacts priorities.Cooperative Agreement Summary: Seafloor Sampling Facility for the U.S. Academic Research Fleet
