Updated Guidance on Proposals with Ship Time


January 27, 2022

Colleagues:
 
Some programs within OCE now accept proposals at any time with no target dates, and therefore there may be confusion regarding when to request ship time on vessels in the U.S. Academic Research Fleet (ARF). The link below provides an update to the May 2017 guidance on proposals with ship time:
