National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP)

正在通过机构间调拨提供资金，为国家海洋学伙伴计划(NOPP)主持下正在进行的项目和新项目提供费用分摊。2007财政年度要求为正在进行的项目分摊费用：1)每年资助国家海洋科学碗；2)支持海洋美国办事处；3)为由Rocky Geyer(伍兹霍尔海洋研究所)领导的题为“社区沉积物传输模型”的研究提供三年资助中的第二年，作为2006财政年度BAA的一部分；4)支持国家科学院、海洋研究理事会对机构间海洋研究优先计划的审查；5)支持设计和部署一条通往Aloha观测站的海底电缆；6)支持由威斯瓦夫·马斯洛夫斯基(海军研究生院)牵头的题为“理解和预测阿拉斯加沿海系统对北极冰川减少变化的反应的综合建模方法”的一个新的NOPP项目，该项目将作为2007财政年度BAA的一部分得到资助；以及7)亨氏项目的支持。海军研究办公室继续是实施和资助许多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). FY07 funds are requested for cost sharing ongoing projects: 1) annual funding of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl; 2) support for the Ocean.US office; 3) the second of three year's support for a study entitled "Community Sediment Transport Model" led by Rocky Geyer (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) funded as part of the FY06 BAA; 4) support for a National Academy of Sciences, Ocean Studies Board review of the interagency Ocean Research Priorities Plan; 5) support for the engineering and deployment of an undersea cable leading to the ALOHA Observatory; 6) support for a new NOPP project entitled "A Comprehensive Modeling Approach Towards Understanding and Prediction of the Alaskan Coastal System Response to Changes in an Ice-diminished Arctic" led by Wieslaw Maslowski (Naval Postgraduate School) to be funded as part of the FY07 BAA; and 7) Heinz project support. The Office of Naval Research continues to be the lead agency to implement and fund many NOPP research and education programs. This arrangement helps to centralize and better control fiscal management, using cost sharing funds provided by other partnering agencies.
