This proposal requests funding to renew the support for the Central Coordinating Office (CCO) for the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) currently based at the Consortium of Oceanographic Research and Education (CORE). Central Coordinating Office activities supported by this award will include planning and coordinating annual PI conferences, National Advisory Board meeting and specialty workshops focused on the interests and needs of the network. In addition, the CCO will expand its role dramatically to include marketing and outreach activities designed to raise the national profile of both COSEE and ocean sciences education. Other partners in this effort are the National Sea Grant Program (NSGO) office, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) and the Office of Program Evaluation (OPE) at the University of South Carolina. VIMS will expedite internal network communications and design a comprehensive, nationally recognized web portal integrated with NSF's Digital Library for Earth Systems Education (DLESE) and the Bridge website for educators. Evaluation of the effectiveness of network activities will be handled by the OPE. As the lead institution, CORE will manage the office and its activity and oversee website and evaluation activities. Broader ImpactsThe very nature of the COSEE program is about broader impacts. The potential impact of the CCO could be unprecedented if successful as it will start putting the ocean on the learning map of Americans and their government. CCO and COSEE has enormous potential to enhance the infrastructure for both research and education. As researchers start to realize the enormous pool of expertise and support that COSEE provides, we will start to see more and more collaborations. This will enhance the educational content and experience for teachers and students.

本提案请求资金，以继续支持中央协调办公室（CCO），以支持目前设在海洋学研究与教育联盟（CORE）的海洋科学卓越教育中心（COSEE）。该奖项支持的中央协调处活动将包括规划和协调年度PI会议、国家咨询委员会会议和以网络利益和需要为重点的专业讲习班。此外，CCO将大幅扩大其作用，包括旨在提高COSEE和海洋科学教育的国家形象的营销和外联活动。这项工作的其他合作伙伴是国家海洋拨款计划办公室（NSGO）、弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（VIMS）和南卡罗来纳大学的计划评估办公室（OPE）。VIMS将加快内部网络通信，并设计一个全面的、国家认可的门户网站，与NSF的地球系统教育数字图书馆（DLESE）和教育工作者的桥梁网站集成。网络活动有效性的评估将由运营办公室处理。作为牵头机构，核评估中心将管理该办公室及其活动，并监督网站和评估活动。更广泛的影响COSEE项目的本质是更广泛的影响。如果成功，CCO的潜在影响可能是前所未有的，因为它将开始把海洋放在美国人和他们的政府的学习地图上。CCO和COSEE在加强研究和教育基础设施方面具有巨大潜力。随着研究人员开始意识到COSEE提供的巨大专业知识和支持，我们将开始看到越来越多的合作。这将提高教师和学生的教育内容和经验。
