IODP Announcements

General Announcements:

• Ocean Drilling Legacy Assets Projects (LEAPs) are a new type of project for international and interdisciplinary collaborations under the umbrella of the scientific ocean drilling programs. Learn more about submitting a proposal for the November 1, 2023 deadline.
• The National Academy of Sciences's 2025-2035 Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences Committee is seeking input on research and infrastructure needs to advance the understanding of the ocean’s role in the broader Earth. Submit input by September 15, 2023.
  
• ECORD and Japan have started to build a post-2024 program that will be open to the international scientific community. They anticipate that it will begin immediately after the conclusion of IODP. Read the full announcement.
• NSF has chosen not to renew the cooperative agreement with Texas A&M University for the JOIDES Resolution to focus efforts and funds towards the sustainable evolution of the ocean science drilling community. Read the full announcement. 
• IODP has been endorsed as part of the first set of Decade Actions of the UN Decade of Ocean Science. Learn more about participating in the NSF & the Ocean Decade: A Resource for Researchers guide.
