Deep Sea Corals.

2005 Deep-Sea Corals Funding Opportunity

NOAA's Undersea Research Program (NURP) through its two National
Undersea Research Centers at the University of Connecticut, Avery Point
and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington seeks proposals for
undersea research focused on deep-sea corals (DSC).

The regions of interest are:

     North Atlantic region off the northeast United States (Pre-proposal
Due = July 21, 2003); and
     Southeast U.S. from North Carolina to Texas (Pre-proposal Due =
July 22, 2003).

The 2005 Deep-Sea Corals Funding Opportunity will be for the use of
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Deep Submergence Facilities Assets
down to 4500
m, including Alvin, Jason II, Argo II, or DSL-120 (See
http://www.whoi.edu/marops/ for information on system details).

2005 Deep-Sea Corals Funding Opportunity funds are for one year projects
that address the following priority research needs:

     Map and characterize DSC habitats, including research to understand
oceanographic and hydrographic conditions that affect the DSC
distribution and
     abundance;
     Identify and describe the biology (e.g., growth rates, age) of key
DSC species and their role in structuring communities of associated
organisms;
     Describe ecology of DSC communities and the role of DSC and
associated communities of fish habitat;
     Assess impacts of human activities on DSC communities; and
     Evaluate DSC species as recorders of paleoclimate and past
oceanographic condition.

Proposals for this funding opportunity must be submitted during the 2004
solicitation process.  Please see the links below for the NURP Center in
your region of
interest for proposal guidelines, proposal submission, and additional
