About NCCOS Project Explorer

The NCCOS Projects Explorer (NPE) provides a snapshot of all peer-reviewed projects funded by NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) from FY 2002 to the present. This database includes intramural research conducted at the NCCOS Centers, as well as extramural projects funded via NCCOS’s Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR). The NPE is an up-to-date resource of the most recent research activities, and is updated throughout the calendar year.

The NPE offers the option of searching all tasks by principal investigator, NCCOS Center, stressor, ecosystem, location, and fiscal year; and within project titles, descriptions, and outcomes. The information provided in the NPE is used in reports to the National Ocean Service, NOAA, the Department of Commerce, the Office of Management and Budget, the United States Congress, various stakeholder groups, and others.

NCCOS wishes to thank all of the investigators and their teams for their contributions to the NPE, and to the NCCOS Projects Database Team for developing the database and coordinating this effort, and NCCOS Center personnel for their assistance and support.
