On behalf of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) and The President's Interagency Committee on Ocean Science and Resource Management Integration (ICOSRMI), the Office of Naval Research (ONR) solicits research proposals meeting the goal and purpose of the Partnership Program outlined in Title II, subtitle E, of Public Law 104-201. Team efforts are required among at least two of the following three sectors: academia, industry (including Non-Governmental Organizations - NGOs), and government (including State and Local) Research proposals are solicited for three topics: Topic 1. Improving Wind Wave Predictions: Global to regional Scales; Topic 2. Sensors for Measurement of Biological, Bio-Optical, Optical, or Chemical Properties of the Ocean; and Topic 3: Improving Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecasting. Topic 2 has two subtopics: Subtopic 1. Integration of existing or emerging in sutu optical or bio-optical sensors on nontraditional or novel sampling platforms; and Subtopic 2. Development of the next generation of biological, chemical, optical and bio-optical measurements. Subtopic 2 includes Subtopic 2A. Development of the next generation of optical and bio-optical field sensors to further exploit current "ocean color" satellite data, and/or new observations from ocean color satellite retrievals; Subtopic 2B. Development of enhanced or new laboratory instrumentation; and Subtopic 2C. Novel approaches to characterizing the properties and dynamics of suspended particles and particle populations in situ.
