Understanding Gulf Ocean Systems Grants

Rolling Submissions

Description

The Understanding Gulf Ocean Systems (UGOS) Grants are part of an initiative that seeks to improve forecasts of the Gulf of Mexico dynamics in spatial and time scales useful for a broad community of stakeholders. The UGOS Grants are intended to support activities that are focused on improving the skill of sustained continuous operations forecasts, and associated physical understanding, of ocean dynamics for the reduction of risks in offshore energy exploration and production in regions of the Gulf of Mexico where deep-water dril...

Grantor Contact InformationResponsible Staff Officers: Michael Feldman; Additional Project Staff: Megha KhadkaGrantor Emailgulfgrants@nas.eduOther Grantor InformationThe National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.

Additional InformationThe UGOS initiative is supported by GRP and National Academies Activities related to ocean observation and modeling in the Gulf of Mexico. It focuses on enhancing forecasts of ocean dynamics to aid offshore energy exploration and production. Additional URLs:
