CDMP

Proposal Workshop

The CDMP eighth Data Access Workshop was held November 4-5, 2009, at the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Fisheries Ecology Division in Santa Cruz, California.

This page contains information for NOAA offices which may wish to apply for funding under the CDMP for either new or continuing projects. NCDC's CDMP evaluates all proposals on an annual basis and will decide which to fund, including extending the funding of current tasks. In FY2009, CDMP supported 86 NOAA data rescue projects, a new record for the program.
