The Gulf of Mexico Sea Grant
- Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Research and Monitoring Activities Database
This database, developed by the Gulf of Mexico Sea Grant College Programs and NOAA’s National Coastal Data Development Center, serves as a single location to capture the research and monitoring activities being conducted in response to the Gulf Oil Spill.
A letter describing the project is available for viewing here.
- Oil Spill Related Request for Proposals
Two requests for proposals are currently available with closing dates of July and August 2010 (for fall competition).
National Science Foundation (NSF)
- Rapid Response Research Grants Available for Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Research
The National Science Foundation has the Rapid Response Research (RAPID) mechanism in place, which serves to enable research on unanticipated events, like the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. RAPID may be used to request access to data, facilities or specialized equipment, as well as quick-response research funds.
Ocean Leadership wants to ensure this site has the most up-to-date and comprehensive information on the ocean research community’s participation in the Gulf Oil Spill response. If you have information you would like us to consider for posting, please submit pertinent documents, announcements and opportunities to Ocean Leadership at oilspillresponse [at] oceanleadership [dot] org
