- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $6,950,760 in funding to the University of Washington (UW) for the operation of the research vessel Thomas G. Thompson from 2025-2028. The award will support oceanographic research missions by NSF-funded investigators and academic faculty. UW's School of Oceanography - Marine Operations is responsible for managing the vessel in a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a five-year, $541,948 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Washington (UW) to support oceanographic technical services on the research vessels R/V Thomas G. Thompson and R/V Rachel Carson, which are part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. Under this award, UW will provide shipboard technicians to maintain, calibrate, and make available shared-use research instrumentation for NSF-funded researchers conducting oceanographic studies. This...
- This $256,439 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds shipboard scientific support equipment for the R/V Hugh R. Sharp, a 146-foot regional research vessel operated by the University of Delaware. The funding will replace the vessel's main crane, allowing it to continue serving scientists from many institutions throughout the mid-Atlantic region in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects. By maintaining shared-use...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a Project Grant for $1,008,489 to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) to acquire and maintain various shipboard scientific support equipment under the Geosciences grant program (CFDA 47.050).
