4. USSSP Investigations of potential drilling regions, especially by means of regional geological and geophysical field studies. The feasibility and initial development of downhole instruments and techniques. Downhole geophysical and geochemical experiments. Research proposals that meet the scientific objectives of specific drilling expeditions. Grants resulting from these Expedition Objective Research (EOR) proposals will be for significant support to address the research objectives of the drilling expedition and are intended to begin in the period between the co-chief approval of the expedition sampling plan and the end of the sample moratorium period. What does NSF-ODP fund?

5. Other ODP Contributions Fund small supplements, educational workshops, Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Have numerous co-funding opportunities with other divisions and directorates within NSF Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) Pay for ship time and Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) costs associated with ODP funded cruises Contribute to OBSIP facilities
