The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $506,599 through a Cooperative Agreement to the Louisiana Board of Regents under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for ship operations of the Research Vessel Pelican from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. The primary deliverable is operational support for oceanographic research missions conducted by the Pelican, a multi-use facility within the Academic Research Fleet (ARF) operated under the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) framework. The vessel serves as a platform for scientific investigation, enabling researchers and students to conduct fundamental research on ocean environments and processes while utilizing state-of-the-art oceanographic instrumentation and complementary undersea vehicles and sensors. In addition to direct research support, the funding supports educational outreach through hands-on demonstrations and learning activities for students and the general public. Ship operators and scientific staff, under the guidance of faculty and crew members, will conduct marine science education initiatives aboard the research vessel, thereby contributing to workforce development and public engagement in oceanographic sciences. No sub-awards are planned under this cooperative agreement.
