USSSP Post-Expedition Activity Awards

About this program

The U.S. Science Support Program (USSSP) provides funding to support U.S. scientists' post-expedition activities, specifically those who participated in the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). This award offers up to $20,000 to cover publishing costs and short-term research initiatives. Applicants must be U.S.-affiliated scientists, have been part of the IODP science party, and remain primarily associated with a U.S. organization. Endorsement from co-chief scientists is required for shore-based members, and proposals should focus on unique research avenues.
