National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP)

正在通过机构间调拨提供资金，以便为正在进行的和在国家海洋伙伴计划(NOPP)主持下进行的新项目提供费用分摊。2005财政年度要求为七个正在进行的项目的费用分担提供资金：1)为由Lewis Rothstein(罗德岛大学)领导的名为“促进跨学科全球建模的伙伴关系”的NOPP项目提供增量支持；2)每年为国家海洋科学碗提供资金；3)支持授予UCSB Tommy Dickey的MOSEAN项目；4)支持海洋美国办事处；5)支持康奈尔大学杰克·布拉德伯里领导的一项研究，以创建一个海洋动物声音图书馆；6)支持伍兹霍尔大学Darlene Ketten领导的关于喙鲸听力的海洋哺乳动物研究；7)波士顿大学David Mountain领导的项目#6(上)的合作研究。海军研究办公室仍然是实施和资助大多数NOPP研究和教育计划的牵头机构。这一安排有助于集中和更好地控制财务管理，使用其他合作机构提供的费用分摊资金。

Funds are being provided via an interagency transfer to provide cost sharing for ongoing and new projects being conducted under the auspices of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP).FY05 funds are requested for cost sharing seven ongoing projects: 1) incremental support for a NOPP project entitled "PARADIGM (Partnership for Advancing Interdisciplinary Global Modeling)" led by Lewis Rothstein (University of Rhode Island) 2) annual funding of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl; 3) support for the MOSEAN project awarded to Tommy Dickey of UCSB; 4) support for the Ocean.US office; 5) support for a study to create a library of marine animal sounds led by Jack Bradbury at Cornell University; 6) support for a marine mammal study of hearing by beaked whales led by Darlene Ketten at Woods Hole; and 7) a partner study to project # 6 (preceding) led by David Mountain of Boston University. The Office of Naval Research continues to be the lead agency to implement and fund most NOPP research and education programs. This arrangement helps to centralize and better control fiscal management, using cost sharing funds provided by other partnering agencies.
