Over that period the total amount of funding was approximately $2. 6M. In the 90’s my funding involved support for CCPO and personal efforts to develop international collaborative efforts with universities in Chile. The Center was been supported by a grant from the Commonwealth at levels of ca $800,000 per year between 1 991 and 1995, and at the $300,000 per year level since then. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s I was supported by a $2.5M Coastal Ocean Technology System grant (earmark) initiative for the Virginia Coastal Ocean Observing System . I also had a grant of $ 220,00 from ONR for work with VT and $169,999 for work with the Wallops group. Recently I have funding from NOAA via Rutgers to maintain the CODAR sites in the lower Bay and coastal Va. Also have funding from MMS and (DOE maybe) for offshore wind research . See Current and Pending for up to date list. Proposals Submitted and Funded Started in 1999 to keep track of proposals for the University bookkeeping. "U.S. - Chile Program: A study of the marine ecosystem of the Chilean Inland Sea" a NSF international programs project. 4/1/96 - 3/31/99. $57,569. Continued funding for work in Chile and other parts of the East Pacific will be provided by a grant to SIO and CICESE to form an "Eastern Pacific Consortium". I’m on the steering committee. "Research opportun ities for Program Officers (ROPO) for Dr. Tom Curtin" from the Office of Naval Research. 2/1/95 - present. $42,000. $14,000 per year.
