Ocean Exploration Trust has been more extensively involved in federal grant awards, both as a prime recipient and sub-awardee. As a prime recipient, the organization has received multiple project grants from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for developing and testing optical and acoustical imaging systems on remotely operated and autonomous vehicles. These grants, awarded in 2019, 2021, and 2024, focus on improving underwater imaging capabilities and broadening participation in STEM through ocean exploration activities in the Pacific region. As a sub-awardee, Ocean Exploration Trust has collaborated with various institutions, including the University of New Hampshire and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, to provide ship time aboard the E/V Nautilus for mapping surveys and testing uncrewed surface vessels. The organization has also worked on high-resolution mapping and video characterization of National Marine Sanctuaries, partnering with NOAA offices such as Ocean Exploration and Research and the Office of Coast Survey. These projects contribute to national priorities in seafloor mapping, marine resource management, and STEM education, leveraging Ocean Exploration Trust's expertise in ocean exploration and its advanced technological capabilities.
