U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System

The U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), in conjunction with , are accepting applications for a new $7.5 million 2026 to accelerate the transition of novel from development to operational implementation and commercialization. The Transition (OTT) program targets prototype-stage technologies with a known need, but not yet ready for operational deployment.

Program priorities include: (especially low-cost/accessible physical, biological, or chemical); cloud/ for analysis and quality assurance/quality control; novel ; sensors/platforms; samplers; sensors; high frequency (HFR) use/metrics/development; and novel /analytics for improved service.

Letters of intent (recommended but optional) due by 11:59 PM EDT on April 27, 2026. Full applications are due by 11:59 PM EDT on July 15, 2026. Details: https://nopp.org/2026/new-funding-opportunity-for-ocean-technology-innovation/. Photo credit: Pat Kemmish, F/V Richard H.

The projects P*s gathered for a hybrid meeting on May 7th and 8th, 2026, in College Park, MD, and virtually to foster collaboration, share research findings, and discuss future priorities and gaps in . Coordinated by the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP), the meeting featured three sessions focused on building foundational understanding, integration and engagement, and lessons from the field. These 17 projects, involving partners from 47 institutions, are supported by a landmark $24.3M investment awarded in 2023 following the 2022 NOFO process, aimed at advancing mCDR approaches, understanding risks and co-benefits, and establishing regulatory frameworks for climate mitigation solutions.

The 2024 Excellence in Partnering award was presented to the Bio-GO-SHIP team at their town hall during last week! The pilot Bio-GO-SHIP project successfully completed three GO-SHIP cruises (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Oceans) to understand plankton's role in global biogeochemistry and expand ocean biodiversity baselines. This multidisciplinary research, involving six partners from multiple institutions, established a commitment to integrate biological parameters into international GO-SHIP protocols. Congratulations!

It was great to hear from the P*s of the NOPP Hurricane Coastal Impacts (NHCI) project during last week’s American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting! The NHCI project is a remarkable example of effective collaboration and dedication to addressing critical challenges posed by hurricanes in coastal regions. Their interdisciplinary approach integrates oceanography, meteorology, and coastal modeling to provide a more holistic understanding of hurricane impacts, ultimately leading to improved forecasting and community resilience. We encourage you to delve deeper into their award-winning work and learn more here: https://nopp.org/2025/2025-excellence-in-partnering-award/.
