Contract and
Grant Reports
In addition to producing its own publications, reports,
and abstracts, the NEFSC also sponsors the production of such works with
contracts and grants. The NEFSC awards funds to external organizations
to conduct special, nonrecurring research when the NEFSC lacks the expertise,
capability, and/or time to conduct such research itself. The final reports
emanating from contract and grant research range from informal memoranda
to formal publications, and can contribute significantly to the body of
scientific knowledge.
NOTES
Incomplete Records: For some
items in the following list (especially for some of the older items),
our files do not contain full documentation (no issuance date, missing
contract number, etc.).
Obtaining/Viewing Copies: A copy
of all contract and grant reports will eventually be maintained in the
library at the NEFSC's James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory at
Sandy Hook, New Jersey (732-872-3035). If you cannot locate a copy
at the Howard Laboratory library, contact the NEFSC's Editorial Office
which should be able to direct you to an NEFSC researcher with a copy
(508-495-2228). Eventually, all contract and grant reports should be
online and available for viewing through links on this webpage.
