Studies Awarded in Fiscal
Year 2006
More than $18
million was awarded for continuing and new studies designed to provide
environmental and socioeconomic information for the Offshore Oil and Gas
Program, the Marine Minerals Program, and the Renewable Energy Program. In
addition to field and laboratory research, and synthesis and modeling
studies, MMS also provided co-sponsorship for relevant workshops and
conferences. Projects were awarded competitively, through cooperative
agreement with universities, and through interagency agreement with other
Federal agencies.
