Advancing Research in the Geosciences Using Legacy Scientific Ocean Drilling Cores Invites submission of proposals using existing International Ocean Discovery Program and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, Ocean Drilling Program and Deep Sea Drilling Project cores for fundamental research and training.
Invites submission of proposals using existing International Ocean Discovery Program and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, Ocean Drilling Program and Deep Sea Drilling Project cores for fundamental research and training.
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) encourages the submission of proposals utilizing existing International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP2) and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP1), Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), and Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) cores for fundamental research, including in large collaborative groups that can be multidisciplinary in scope, and for scientific training.
Scientific ocean drilling began in 1968 with DSDP and has continuously operated through the present IODP. In total, over 465 km of sediment, igneous and metamorphic basement, and other core types (e.g., coral reefs) have been collected from all ocean basins, marginal seas, and continental and island margins.
These cores are significant scientific resources collected through the commitment of thousands of scientists with financial support from NSF and its international partners. Many transformational scientific discoveries have been made using these cores; with continued advances in technology, these legacy cores are invaluable for future discoveries.
Many of the 2015-2025 Priority Research Questions in the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Sea Change Report have been, and continue to be, addressed by research on these cores. Cores are housed in three repositories: the Gulf Coast Repository at Texas A&M University, the Kochi Core Center at Kochi University in Japan, and the IODP Bremen Core Repository at MARUM, University of Bremen, Germany.
Proposals to study cores curated in any of these repositories are encouraged. OCE welcomes proposals to the Marine Geology and Geophysics Program (MGG) promoting research that supports collaborations of diverse scientists and disciplines and provides training opportunities for the next generation of ocean scientists.
Proposals in response to this DCL must advance core OCE program science goals and use DSDP/ODP/IODP cores toward addressing scientific problems. This is not a special competition or new program. Relevant proposals should be submitted to MGG, according to Program proposal submission guidelines.
Before submission, PIs should contact cognizant program directors to discuss the potential submission. Proposals will be evaluated by MGG, alongside other proposals submitted to the Program. Therefore, proposals should first and foremost focus on important scientific questions in the discipline of interest.
When making investments, NSF seeks broad representation of principal investigators (PIs) and institutions in its award portfolio, including a geographically diverse set of institutions (including those in EPSCoR jurisdictions ) and PIs who are women, early-career researchers, members of underrepresented minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities.
Submissions that benefit and involve the full breadth of the geoscience research community, including undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty at two-year and four-year institutions of higher education, including minority serving institutions and non-R1 institutions, are encouraged. General questions about this Dear Colleague Letter may be submitted to odp@nsf. gov .

Dear Colleague Letter NSF 26-024, issued August 27, 2026, asks nine questions about the future of NSF-supported ocean observing. It is the input mechanism NSF promised in June when it halted the dismantling of the $386 million Ocean Observatories Initiative. Responses are capped at 3,250 characters per question and become public.
Read articleNSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleNSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
